H(a/o)rmonic Love

I know I know, everyone has a heart, everyone can love and I also know that love is a pure and divine truth. Okay, I was bullshitting- I can swear on anyones head I believe none of it. Even on the head of someone I supposedly love, not because I don't believe in love rather because swearing on someone's head doesn't get them dead either. It's like justifying cheating on your girlfriend because having an affair doesn't have anything to do with love. "It was my hormones honey, I swear it was my hormones that made me have sex with her. You know I love you, don't you? With all my heart."- the other 'heart' that is. So when do you decide you don't love someone? When your heart stops beating for your love? I doubt it. I would rather wager on your testosterone glands to decide that for you. The point is, what makes love so different from any other physical phenomena. Actually, what does any feeling have anything to do with the metaphysical? It's all electric impulses, chemical reactions that drive us- so when someone points to your lack of emotions, what do you tell them? I would suggest you take a deep breath, plant a well aimed slap on the guy's 'visage' (pun intended), make an innocent face and blame it on your highly disturbed state of emotions. If they still don't get it, fling a stone at their faces and tell them you aren't 'stone hearted' after all.

  1. P.S. I guess the *fling a stone* part is a little too twisted to understand on the first time and I didn't want the irony to go waste if no one understood, so here is how it works.

    Assumptions:
    1.You are stone hearted.

    2.If X loves Y, it is universally accepted that X(throws/flings/pours out/presents on a plate/with tea/beer/whatever) their heart at/to/on Y.

    Corollaries:

    1. If you are stone hearted, your heart is a stone.

    Proof:

    If you are stone hearted and if you are throwing a stone(your heart) at X, by definition you are in love with X. Thus by contradiction, you can't be stone hearted if you throw a stone at someone (stone hearted people don't love).

    Result: You are by no means stone hearted if you throw a stone at someone.

    This I agree, ruined the effect of the irony. But I had to clarify.
