Quote:There are 2 polarities in life that are obvious which are Love and Fear based polarities. It exists in all life even in that which one would say isn't alive like a rock.Nope. Fear keeps us from doing stupid and dangerous things, it's to help keep us safe. It's chemical based, the brain releases it the moment it thinks it's in danger. Did you ever go to school by any chance?
These chemical reactions we have assist us in life to feel these polarities.
Quote:Close your eyes and hug someone you love and you will feel this energy.
No, that feeling is chemicals reacting in the brain. Though feel free to believe in whatever you wish. Whatever floats your boat.
Quote:Feel that person you love from a distance because it is an energyNope. Still chemical. Thinking of a loved one first comes from memory which involves stimulating certain parts of the brain which then leads to releasing chemicals that in turns leads to feelings. That's actually how the brain functions.
Quote:Of these chemical reactions, do you doubt ever feeling it without a thought?Not really. There is no better explanation that I know of.
Though you can tell us more about this "energy" that you speak of? You know, what is it, and can it be verified?
Quote:Seems like Love is nothing more than an illusion somehow being mimicked by chemicals and atoms with no meaning which makes no sense.No, chemicals don't mimic feelings, they cause them. Without chemicals, you'd feel fuck all.
Quote:Are we an illusion?Many things are illusions. Beauty is only a concept, so is god. We humans like to think we're special or something. We are no more special than that plant you have in your living room. Or that fly you just swatted. We are all biological, specks with no importance what so ever.
Quote:Im not really here to debate (im sorry if it seems that way) but just want to seek/share the truth.I'm looking for objective truth. You're truth is based on nothing but baseless assumptions. For which are of no value.
Why can't people just accept what they're made of?
What's so horrible about being made up of chemicals and atoms?
If we didn't function on chemical reactions, then taking heaps of cocaine or heroine would have no mental effect on you.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
