2) If something is commonly discussed and known about, it does not
belong here. There are several other debate forums where you can argue
abortion and capital punishment to your heart's content. This is a place
largely of experimental and innovative thought. Please keep this in mind

it occurred to me that what you believe about love is like what you
believe about death.

you don't really know what happens when you die until you
die. but many religions are built around their take on the afterlife
and what it is. you latch on with one of the belief systems because
you need (or think you need, of course not everyone needs a religion)
some sort of game plan to go on. you need a template for your life but
you don't really know how it all turns out until you die (maybe not even
then?).

and then there's love: you could decide that things like True Love are
just chemical reactions of the brain, or false, or unimportant, and
avoid monogamy like the plague. And then at age 80 you realize you've
never had a steady, committed relationship, and wish you had. or you
marry your high school sweetheart and then at age 80 look back and wonder
what life might have been like if you hadn't cashed your chips so early.

you don't know until you get there. you don't have the experience to
know which plan to pick until you have the experience to know if you were
wrong.

of course, i'm not old enough to 'look back' very effectively or even
know what i'm talking about, so it's probably all speculation. but does
it strike a chord with anyone?

I think the balance/trinity of the reading is eerie. I know the question is verbose, but one must be very specific when A) making wishes and when B) asking questions of the future C) ordering a drink with no ice.

Thanks dolphingirl :)
