This is a discussion about the origins of Love, I suppose - I start with the creation of everything and tie it in with my thoughts on attraction and, if the origins even matter.
The end of this Podcast deals with my family and a little bit about the difficult health situation. I know that it is selfish of me to ask, but, if you pray at all, I ask that you offer a few up for my father, who is having health issues.
Thank you for listening! Stay Safe!

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Do you believe there's a higher something, a
higher power, higher entity,higher thing.
How about a higher thing?
I like that because it doesn'tromanticize the concept as much
higher thing.
I don't know if the big bangtheory is currently a number one
for how we think things began.
(00:34):
I think now we're thinking it'sa cycle where, uh, it expands
and contracts and expands andcontracts.
So maybe we don't have a, anidea about what happened just
after everything became a thing,but in order for things to
become things there must've beensome thing to create that thing.
(00:59):
I wonder what that thing was.
So we're never really going toknow that no matter what, we're
just never going to know that Idon't believe it's possible to
know that even if there issomething after this world,
something after this existencelife after death, I don't
believe we will know that.
(01:21):
So that being a given in mymind, I find it very interesting
to think about what would havebeen one of the first things
that, that some thing would havecreated.
And it probably would have beenattraction and its most basic
sense.
(01:42):
If you have most people know ifyou have enough stuff together,
enough things that it drawsother things towards it.
Yes.
Mass greater than mass, greaterthe gravity.
Pretty simple, easy tounderstand concept, but does it
also apply to every thing?
(02:07):
So the greater the mass, thegreater the strength, perhaps
the higher, the chance ofsurvival, but I want to take it
from things to people because Ithink that attraction, this
force is equally applied, notjust to things, but to us,
(02:33):
whatever we really are to ussentient beings, we are
attracted to one another.
And I believe that that is whatgives us strength.
An army of one, never survivesRambo doesn't exist.
(03:02):
We survive because we areattracted to others and we form
our tribes and our tribes arefull of other people, attracted
to us and we support each otherand their strength and our
numbers.
That makes sense.
A lot of sense, coming upthrough the ages when you didn't
(03:25):
even have enough food to getfat.
That's funny how sometimespeople don't realize being fat
is a luxury and I ain't noskinny boy, maybe, maybe one
day, but not today.
(03:45):
So it's this, what is it called?
Law of attraction, whatever itis, we are attracted to one
another.
It is that which I believe is Ihad to have been one of the
first things to have become, tohave come into existence because
(04:08):
there is strength in theattraction and the attraction
helps us survive.
So is love born out of the needto survive.
As in you fought harder forthose whom you loved.
So the capacity to love wouldhave been a positive trait that
(04:33):
would have helped people tosurvive.
So those that had that capacitywould have lived longer through
the ages or had more children.
I don't know, maybe.
And then is that why love is sostrong for us?
(04:59):
We are attracted to othersbecause their presence
strengthens us.
I don't think there's anythingwrong with admitting that what
we do is largely born out ofselfish desires, even helping
other people feels immenselypositive, which you could argue
(05:19):
then makes it a selfish desire.
It doesn't mean that it's bad.
I don't believe that the originof the action necessarily makes
that action negative.
So if love is actually asurvival technique that allowed
(05:43):
us to get to this point, do westill need it?
I mean, do we still need it,need it, need it.
Like on a, that was verydescriptive right there.
Like to exist in the world andprocreate.
(06:05):
You ever, have you ever beenwith someone from the Nordic
countries?
One of my friends, she lives upthere now she's lived there for
years.
She's very, very smart.
And um, she she's got everythinggoing for her and, uh,
intelligence looks all that jazzand she has enjoyed her time up
(06:27):
there greatly.
And the let's call it socialfreedom that she gets there
compared to where she was bornin Poland.
And um, now that she is tryingto have a little bit less social
freedom, so let's call it.
She's finding it ratherdifficult, rather difficult to
(06:51):
find someone to love emotionallyrather than just for an evening
for a physical exchange ofculture.
She's finding it rather Lovelessand it's making her feel hollow.
(07:17):
So does she need love tosurvive?
Absolutely not.
She's surviving very well on allthe metrics, all the metrics
upon which we are studied by usand analyzed money, looks
health, social life, the abilityto do what she wants when she
(07:43):
wants almost how she wants nowthat she doesn't have to work in
an office.
But I feel, I feel thehollowness when I hear her talk
about what I just mentioned andshe's mentioned it as well.
(08:08):
So love is what's lacking.
She doesn't need it, but it'slike chocolate.
I think you don't needchocolate, but it does make your
life a little bit happier.
Wow.
That was a horrible comparison.
I want to take that back becauseyou know, I'm thinking about, I
(08:32):
have massive problems withstress, not anxiety, but stress.
Like my eye will Twitch, whichis great for retaining my hair.
And um, when I'm with someonewho makes me feel whole, I don't
want to use the L word just yet,but whole.
(08:54):
So not even the full L word, butjust whole, my eyes stops
twitching.
My heart slows.
I can feel it.
And I am at peace and all ofthose things that caused my eyes
to Twitch.
I don't even remember what theyare.
(09:16):
Sometimes they don't even knowwhat they are anyway, but
they're gone.
I'm so happy and full andcomplete in that moment.
Do we need love?
Maybe not, but who wants to livewith their eye twitching in
their heart, half empty for therest of their life?
(09:44):
Who wants to be able to sleep ina bed like a starfish every
night and not have their coverssavagely stolen from them at
1:00 AM because she's cold.
And then you get her back byputting your toe Sickles in
between her thighs.
(10:08):
Ah, the scream is so beautiful.
Uh, nothing I've ever spent alot of money on or any money on
has ever put a smile on my face.
Like I just had when I relayedthat story to you, by the way,
nothing, because that story isborn out of love.
(10:36):
I don't care why I love or welove was it given to us as a
rule from the start of theuniverse without love without
attraction, there can simply benothing.
I don't care why That's a verypositive thing.
(11:02):
And that makes you full.
Even if it is just programming,natural selection programming,
would you really want to goagainst that?
If so, why you need a reason togo against it?
(11:24):
What's on the other side, ifyou're going to push love aside,
you better have a reason for it.
A real reason.
(11:44):
If you don't have someone toterrorize with your toe Sickles
or someone to steal covers fromat one in the morning when they
have fallen soundly asleep, Isthere anything else worth it?
(12:20):
We won't always have love, butwhen we find it, I believe that
we should go to the ends of theearth to keep it.
And I intend to do that.
[ DRINKING] I should end itthere, but this discussion isn't
(12:51):
actually about a woman.
I love talking about women, themost beautiful of creatures, the
most terrifying and exciting andexhilarating of creatures.
(13:12):
I love it, but this isn't adiscussion about women.
I'm just trying to ease my wayinto the more difficult
discussion because you don'tonly love your significant
other.
You love your family.
(13:35):
An interesting thought.
I don't know which one youshould love more.
That would be very difficult.
That's for a very differentdiscussion, but we love our
family.
The more that I travel, the morecould I travel more, probably
not.
I don't know.
(13:55):
The more that I am away from myfamily, which is years it's now
actually two years.
It's the longest stint I've hadaway from them without visiting.
Thank you very much.
COVID they areimmunocompromised.
So not exactly a good time foran international traveler to,
(14:17):
uh, just fly home and visitthem.
But that day is coming very soonafter being finally double
Vaxxed.
So let's talk about family.
For me, family is very, veryimportant.
They build you, your parentsare, are builders.
(14:43):
They were well physically built.
I mean you okay?
I didn't have that much wine.
You were physically built bythem.
And then you werepsychologically built by them.
I guess some people really hatetheir creators.
(15:04):
And so this discussion, maybeisn't for them.
I don't know, or this part ofit, but mine mean the world to
me.
And I attribute everything thatI have to them, except for
sometimes I'm a little bit tooreluctant to do things I'm a
(15:25):
little bit too shy.
Believe it or not.
I don't attribute that to thembecause they are not shy or
reluctant.
So they don't make everythingthat you are, but they influence
it heavily.
And I credit them immensely forall the positive things that
exist about me.
(15:47):
They're the reason actually thatI have traveled, which, and I
hate to say it because it is socliche has caused me to grow and
to appreciate a great manythings in life.
I might not have otherwiseappreciated and maybe to get an
understanding of a part of lifethat I otherwise would not have
(16:09):
gotten.
It's funny.
I think that my brother hasalways had an understanding of
that part of life, but it'staken a lot of effort for me to
get it.
And um, so I value them greatly.
It makes all the sense in theworld to value the people who
build you up because of all thethings we talked about earlier,
(16:32):
right?
Self preservation, the tribe,the group.
And I've already said that Idon't care to discuss if it's,
what did I say?
I don't care to discuss if it'srequired or if it matters or why
it's there because I'm not goingto go against the nature because
it has to do with how I feel.
And I'm learning these days.
(16:53):
That as much as I wanted to putfeelings aside for most of my
life, that's, it is a feelingsthat matter more than almost
anything.
And I love my mother and myfather.
And for all, I don't know, 10 ofyou who listen, I do ask that
(17:21):
you pray for my father.
If you pray at all, I am.
I'm going to ask for that.
So please pray for his health.
(17:42):
It's very selfish that I ask astranger to do that.
It's very selfish, but I woulddo anything.
I do believe that there issomething out there that does at
(18:05):
least higher than us.
Some God, some eternal,something, something with
certainly more power than us.
(18:26):
And it is to that, whateverpowerful force to that,
something that I will offer upmy prayers to, I ask you to
offer up yours too.
(18:50):
For, I believe that there is apositive force.
I believe there is positivity inthe world.
It's very selfish for me to askyou to pray.
But like I said, total 10 of youlistening.
(19:12):
I'm going to do whatever I cancheers to never giving up.
Do you believe there's a higher something, a
higher power, higher entity,higher thing.
How about a higher thing?
I like that because it doesn'tromanticize the concept as much
higher thing.
I don't know if the big bangtheory is currently a number one

That makes sense.
