Because it seems to me like it's all just nature's way of making sure we procreate and preserve the species

Um.. It would depend on if you believe in destiny. If you believe your life is predetermined then you would believe that your love is real because you were destined to be with this person. If you don’t believe on destiny and you think you are in control of your own life then you would probably say that the carnal instincts make the love fake

Huh

If destiny really exists, then who or what determines when I fall in love and with whom?

Avatar of BasixWhiteBoy
I’m a believer of god personally so that would be my answer but for others it would be something else
Avatar of BasixWhiteBoy
But I don’t believe in destiny I believe we have complete or almost complete control of our lives

But what if all we are is a cosmic genetic experiment created by some ancient extraterrestrial civilization that doesn't really care about us?

Avatar of BasixWhiteBoy
That’s actually very possible. It’s also possible that we are not even real, possibly living in a matrix online that makes us happy

Have you seen that movie?
Avatar of Sliver-WoIf
Yup
Avatar of BasixWhiteBoy
Great movie. But what if something like that is happening right now?
Avatar of Dramioneisgreat

Then is anything real?????? Does anyone really matter then? Does following a moral code make us insane if everything is just a simulation?!?

Is Luther Vandross real?

Avatar of Dramioneisgreat

I don't know who that is

Avatar of BasixWhiteBoy
I guess it does. But we would take a huge risk if we were wrong

Do you love your family?
I’m gonna assume yes.
The process is like so(this is theory I get no women 🥲):


You love your family

Find someone

Spend time with them

You love each-other through connection

You bring them into your family by marriage

You love your family

Of course for the last few parts attraction is a very vital part but I believe love is real yeah
Avatar of Dramioneisgreat

So, your saying that you hate your family???
