Why should we love love beyond what is necessary for gene survival?
August 17, 2010 at 2:50 am
If mankind is nothing more than an animal like any other animal and our sole purpose is to propagate our genes then what value do love, compassion, and forgiveness have in themselves other than helping propagate our genes? Why should we value or perform them other than what is absolutely necessary to propagate our genes? Is it possible to have too much love, compassion, and forgiveness which would simply be a waste if not an impediment on our sole purpose of existence as defined by nature, which after all is all that there is?
