Is there such a thing? - 04-13-02

Can eternal love exist? My friend and I were discussing it and he said "eternal love can only emerge form a pure heart". I said that nobody's heart was completly pure, and in doing so, we stumped each other. I'd like to hear your opinions on this subject.


Have you not learned from the corpses of your bretheren?

No.No eternities, absolutes or infinte exist imo.


Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so.

Nothing will ever change the way I feel about beer.

What do you mean by eternal? Literally eternal? If so, no obviously not, but I think you can love someone til you die.

The Love of God is beyond the confines of time. He has always been and from Him all love comes.

Actually compared to some god/desses and older religions he has not...but that really has nothing to do with love, but more with belief...love I believe can be eternal...as long as people are able to feel, there will be love, souls meet and are destined to be together...one does not need a "pure heart" to find love, just secure with who they are, and strong enough to sacrafice what is required for a "love" It's rare, but I believe it exists....

If some of you idjits would actually read my theory you wouldn't even need to ask this since my theory pretty much obliterates most of the crap out there about what love really is.. SO KISS MY ASS!

Yes, it is very possible, in my opinion,anyway. You see, (here i go into philosophy mode) Bodies are shells,equipped to carry souls (us) into the 3rd dimension, or the physical dimension. Bodies can be remade,manufactured,corrected,trashed,brought back. but you cannot change the soul inside, the soul is unique. Souls are often reincarnated,and thrown into different lives. It very possible, that at the end of ones life, they,and theyre significant other agree they will stay together in the next life,and so on, until they reach the heavens. Although, no one on earth might not have the memory of making the choice, or anything from the previous life, they do encounter the same lover from the other life. And they go on like this, together for eternity.

I guess it depends how you define love. You could also say it is a chemical reaction.

Sounds to me like you two agree with each other.


if I can make just nine people a day stare at me in abject horror and confusion... i think i've done my job.

there are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those that can read binary, and those that can't.

you know what? i still want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket. (%)

Don't use souls in your little posts, if you're trying to prove a point or anything like that buddo... seeing as souls have yet to be proven that they exist.

You believe in no infinites RedMeat?

What of the scenario where any length of space can be infinitely divided into smaller segments for the sake of measurement?

If one can create an inversed infinity within a defined space, why can't there be an infinity outside?

Love has to exist. Whether it be chemical reactions, something our souls carry from life to life, or something we'll never understand, it has to be out there. Can you truly say you don't "love" your parents, or your significant other,or your children? Love is out there, but what it really IS, is debatable.

Love can only be defined if you've felt it, but it can't be defined by words. Only your heart/soul/bodily chemicals can tell you what it is... so ya, I'm done mumbling.


Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose the former, and have seen no reason to change.

Isn't it contradictory to say that there are NO absolutes?

Sykofury has been my love in this life time, and will in the next. Eternal love does exist it's just hard to find and reconize.
