I guess I don't think that at all.

Losty,

It may be thought that if a person is unbiased they are being rational.

RE: Love
There are so many forms of love, it's an entire rainbow of emotion unto itself.

It makes life bearable, shedding rays of joy into our sometimes-shaded lives.

Just want to leave this here:

Losty,


Do you think you can prove there is no percentage of beauty ?

You made the claim. Lay out your metrics -- how you measure such percentages -- and then demonstrate that most others hold the same metrics as you.

It may be thought that if a person is unbiased they are being rational.

It may also be thought that rational people have biases too, and that they go the extra length to obviate them ... a process you seem to have skipped.

RE: Love
Love. I thought I knew what it was when I had those first feelings of butterflies in my stomach for a boy that I liked in high school. No... that wasn't it at all.

Pure love - raw love - unconditional love for me - for the very first time was when I got to see my oldest for the first time. She was three hours old. Born via emergency C-section, I was put under very quickly. When I came out of recovery, they wheeled me down to the NICU to see her. She was so tiny, so fragile but I fell instantly in love. I knew then, what love was. I can't explain it, but I feel like my heart suddenly grew bigger. I could not stop looking at my daughter. She was two days old when I finally got to hold her and wow! What a feeling it was... it was like a rush of adrenaline. To be that much in love like that... it's the best feeling in the world, if you ask me.

It happened a second time when my other daughter was born. A love like this is a love like no other. This is what I hold on to. This is what I cherish most.

Thumpalumpacus,

If you think I made the claim, which words precisely may you think show that I did ?

Thumpalumpacus,

If you think that I wasn't thinking that people have the potential to be bias or unbias, rational or irrational at different times, which words precisely may you think show that ?
