Do you know anything about the history if love ? Post here ==>
Nothing in the closet about me. I'm an openly hopeless romantic. Unfortunately, I don't mean that the good way.honestrosewater said:Adam, you're a closet romantic, aren't you?
BoulderHead said:As I've been rereading his 'stuff' I'll throw some of it in;
Love essentially is goodwill; thinking well of others and wishing them well. It is a state of the will, not of the animal passions. Even in its earthiest form it is a giving as well as a taking. People who can not give themselves never can know love.
-from the wisdom of Adler.

honestrosewater said:Or just had oodles of babies... or few predators... maybe baby sea turtles are born with a love for the ocean ;)
Even if there's no time for learning to love, there's plenty of time for learning to hate, isn't there?
