Love is simply the question of giving a gun to the one you love and trusting that he won't pull the trigger. If that's the case, then I laugh right now.

If this was a real life situation and we will take the statement literally, someone would have to be STUPID to even consider the idea.

Take Newton's 3rd law of motion, the law of reaction in context to this situation...

Give someone a gun... the temptation's too great not to try it out... its loaded so it will be a lot more fun... so he gives in... he shoots... but he didn't realize... that the gun was pointing at your heart...

And so ends the life of someone who hoped everything would work out.

Thoughts/conceptualization on Plato's 'The Republic'

-Since Plato acknowledged that rank in society denotes inequality between its community, he also acknowledged that all of us are really never equal... Since we all have different abilities, does this prove that Plato was actually right? That equality is just an imagination?

-In Utopia (perfect place Socrates imagined... actually Plato and Socrates were great friends so he used Socrates as the main character in his book)
- Mother's never know their own children... they just take care of all the children...
- Poets must bow to reason... and never let their imagination take contron
- Philosophers lead the society
- Sexual tendencies are suppressed until the need to reproduce arises...
- Which means Romantic love is frowned upon...

Is this what a perfect society really is?????????

-Plato said that the truth is what is real in your eyes... Since we all have different points of view, what really is the truth?

-Perfection, Plato said, is internal... if so are we actually capable of perfection... and since everyone has a different disposition in life, what is really perfect....

Philosophy is so interesting.... (I am still a newbie in Philosophy, so if I sound a bit silly forgive me)

I slept one night, just thinking of my quest for the perfect man...

Someone who is a gentleman, and knows how to take care of his lady...

Someone who wouldn't sacrifice the lady's principles to match his own...

Someone who can tolerate my mistakes, for I am just human...

Someone who understands, who cares....

So I fell asleep with these thoughts going around my head.

And in my dreams, I got a chance to talk with God himself.

I told him of my burdens, of my dreams and my goals... I told him of my quest to find the perfect man...

But as we continued to talk, I realized one thing.

GOD is the PERFECT MAN!

So I asked God how He could expect me to find the perfect man, if He himself is the ONLY one....

He told me...

"My child, love is not finding someone perfect, or finding someone to complete you. Its about not a need, but a choice to love someone, in spite of his imperfections."
