One love? Love can vaguely refer to the feelings one has for another person. "One Love" for all seems idealized out of proportion?
Why is polygamy taboo-ed?
Sort:
There is only one Love. It doesn't matter the way we choose to interact this. Love is the way you kiss your husband or kids and love is the way you hough a stranger that you find him accidentally crying in the street or a poor woman you decided to give your expensive gloves ( to help her stop freezing from cold ) that your boyfriend gave you for a valentines gift.
It doesn't matter Trysts. It's the moment we decide for, that gives a meaning to our love for everyone not the quality of the feeling.

Sympathy for a stranger's plight is not what I would call love for the stranger. It does matter in this discussion to try to be as clear as possible instead of intertwining meanings for words in an arbitrary manner, Bishop:)
It's not sympathy or empathy Trysts. That is what I am trying to explain to you. When you are sympathetic doesn't mean that you care also. When you decide to care with actions then you learn how to love. Especially when those actions are selfless.
Sympathy it's not enough!
I will tell you what sympathy is : I watch a poor guy from my window walking down the street and I say " poor guy! How you suffer in your life?! " That's sympathy!
When I will decide to run down the stairs to give this guy my half money then I start to care and love.

So you're saying the motivation to actually "do" something for someone you feel sympathetic towards is "love"? Okay, sure lets go with that. Now if someone I love follows me home then I'm pretty happy about that. But if someone I gave food to out of sympathy follows me home, I'm not happy about that. They have not gotten so close to me by just me acting on my sympathies for them to presume that I would like to have a close relationship with them. You see?
This reminds me of pdela's case.
No I don't Trysts. You don't give care,love expecting to get anything back. You give love because you believe on that.
I don't care who is gonna follow me and for what reason, if I love him for his existence as a human being I will give him everything I have. It's not about the quality of the feeling that make the difference.

You just love all human beings so much that you'll give some stranger everything you have?
Exactly! If I know that with this I will make him happy and help his life, I will do.
That's the spirit of love and I believe in this.
Practically speaking, most of the times they don't accept to give them anything more than you offered to them in first place. A poor man or woman is gonna be thankful with the less you will give. They are not Greed like all of us who learned to live comfortable.

Hmmm... I definitely don't like humans as much as you do
No Trysts, believe me...it's not your personal stand this. If you watch people change , you will start like them more but nothing will change as we all stay compromised in this reality.
We simple people make the difference with the way we thinking for our life and others.
Don't let a dozen of billionaires to affect the way you dream life should be. Take the situation in your hands and start love more independence the cost. It's the most important think you will do for your self.
I can't believe I just read through this thread. There seems to be a lot of confusion about the word "polygamy", which is Greek for "state of marriage to many spouses", and "polyamory", which is a Greek-Latin hybrid that reduces to "consensual, ethical, and responsible non-monogamy", or a "practice, desire, or acceptance of intimate relationships that are not exclusive with respect to other sexual or intimate relationships" [Wikipedia]. Historically, as trysts has pointed out, polygamy has in some cultures represented male dominance as it has meant an exclusively polygynous structure of society (one man, many often submissive women). However, modern polyamory is usually devoid of marital commitments and is simply a free-for-all orgy of concurrent, overlapping, and always consenting (to all parties concerned) sexual relationships. What could possibly be wrong with that?
Well this might have been an interesting, maybe even productive, discussion, but it's been bogged down with one user's, frankly, wishy-washy nonsense.
Now it's my time to say, what two different things? There is only one Love and can be expressed with many ways. The interaction is how ready we are to anticipate the moments of it and act selfless.
