Our thoughts on pure love and invincibility

Hey kids, Laura here. I’ve been doing some surveying on unassuming innocent folk such as yourselves and others who happen to be in my path. Here are some results I’ve come up with. I’m keeping them anonymous cuz it’s more fun that way. If I didn’t harangle you yet and you’d like to add your own you can anonymously or not anonymously please do so =0)

What is pure love or the purest form of love?

I’ll start by saying that this question popped into my head while I was gazing into my friend’s dog’s eyes and felt what I believed to be unadulterated love. Some survey results reflect similar feelings, as you shall see.

1. Person to animal

2. The love that comes from helping another person.

3. Joy that makes you feel that what you’re doing is good and complete. Like a dog licking its crotch. (The example is to prove that the answer is not necessarily a deep and spiritual one) (I’ll just go ahead and say this one is from my dad)

4. Love that does not expect love back.

5. Acceptance

6. Bailey! (The dog who started this whole thing in the first place, but that’s not my answer!)

7. Peace and understanding

8. God

9. Absolute comfort

10. The love between good friends. Not the love between mother and child or romantic love; those are too complexly intertwined.

11. Trust, passion, certainty that you don’t want anything else, laughter, among other things.

12. When two people can look each other in the eyes and know the other’s innermost feelings and still be extremely happy, all without saying a word

13. Love without thought or action.

14. Disney. Especially Enchanted. Child to mother. What you make it.

What is invincibility?

1. It doesn’t exist- it’s absolute freedom with no constraints, but we constrain ourselves.

2. Dean Cain, aka Superman

3. Having such a strong sense of yourself and your purpose that nothing/no one can ever get you down.

4. Can’t be beaten or hurt. Superman. I like to keep it simple.

5. Giving and receiving enough love that nothign can compare to this love network.

6. Being all forgiving. When one considers invincibility one may think of being unbeatable, but in order to be beaten, there needs to be an objective, and how one defines purpose is open to infinite variability. Therefore to be truly invincible, one needs to transcend a single system and recognize the multiple objectives and humbly accept the friction that pertains to the overlappings of purpose by recognizing one human’s plea of coming from a good place, and being all-forgiving or invincible. It seems impossible for one to be all forgiving if one is human… but maybe to lead a good life, one’s goal is to perpetually fail in the uphill struggle rather than indulge in flat debauchery.
