Well, that's all 'love' has brought me- while it ran off giggling with sex, power and greed.

That also means a 100% failure rate. Amazing, huh?
Perhaps you are attracting the wrong types...

But the mind stirs the emotions, and the emotions in turn colour the thoughts and vice versa in a type of viscious cycle. They are much the same thing. For me the point of this thread is something a bit different to this, something underlying and less complicated that our normal thoughts and feelings seem to cloud. Especially once we start to "grow up" and become very complicated. A genuine feeling of affection, a simple sense of fun or joy, that subtle feeling that can stop us acting on our emotions and making regretful mistakes etc. Something deep down underneath it all that is simple and genuine and that we seem to have lost touch with. Just my understanding.

*snort* Sure. And then I'll gain super powers, be elected president, and bring an age of peace and prosperity to the planet when I release all the alien tech from the grip of the Pentagon.
Puh- LEEZE.
*sigh* It used to be so much easier. The day I had the one I truly loved dump me for cash and looks- it all went downhill in a great big hurry. Now that I am at bottom, I have found a jackhammer and a note: "DIG".

Who came up with such a silly notion.. All that is is a philosophical tool to soothe the ragged edges of people who are basically the refuse of the world. People who loved, and were used like a box of kleenex.
I 'love' myself just fine. It's the rest of this sorry planet that's screwed up! If it weren't so, the wars, killings, beatings, robbings, cheatings, rapings, lyings, and the hundreds of other little human indiscretions wouldn't happen.
and you dont currently love yourself enough for anybody to love you...

Creative play, and innocent fun, simple joy - that's what life is for. I mean like what else is there?
Why does it have to be such a struggle, why so complicated.
I've been searching for some grand purpose and direction for my life, and in the final analysis I don't think there is one, no one thing pre-ordained that I am supposed to do.
We ought to smile more, love more, and worry much much less.
I like what the Jamaicans say
"What it is mon, ire."

Something I found today 
The Teachings of Don Juan Matus
" One must always choose the path with heart in order to be at one’s best, perhaps so one can always laugh.
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting, nor by thinking about what he will think when he has finished acting. A man of knowledge chooses a path with heart and follows it; and then he looks and rejoices and laughs; and then he sees and knows. He knows that his life will be over altogether too soon. A man of knowledge has no honor, no dignity, no family, no name, no country, but only life to be lived, and under these circumstances his only tie to people is his controlled folly. Thus a man of knowledge endeavors, and sweats, and puffs, and if one looks at him, he is just like any ordinary man, except that the folly of his life is under control. Whether his acts were good or bad, or worked or didn’t, is in no way part of his concern.
It is the same to be a winner or to be defeated.
You’re too concerned with liking people or with being liked yourself. A man of knowledge likes, that’s all. He likes whatever or whoever he wants, but he uses his controlled folly to be unconcerned about it. This is in opposite to what you are doing now. To like people and be liked by them is far from all that man can do.
Our lot as men is to learn. And one must go to knowledge as one goes to war; with respect, aware that one is going to war, and with absolute confidence in oneself. Put your trust in yourself, not in me.
In the life of a man of knowledge, everything is filled to the brim. In order to become a man of knowledge, one must be a warrior, not a whimpering child.
If you do not think of your death, all your life will be just personal chaos.
People win or suffer defeat, and consequently they became persecutors or victims.
While (someone) thinks that he was a victim, his life is a hell.
That which makes us unhappy is our (“earthly”) desires. "
