I have been in love about 125 times. But each time, even though the hot sex was not an illusion, that feeling revealed to be illusory.

But I matured, and my understanding of the psychological and occult mechanisms of these soul states grew. Now I can't "be in love" but I love. Every single day. All the time. And love is not an illusion. Rather, when it is real and not just a feeling or soul state, it is a force that bonds beings together. I will never again "be in love" and I am very glad to be rid of such illusions.

I like this.

It reveals the beauty in love-making, though portraying the act as temporary. It's not love-making you seek, rather it's the connection with another human.

So you've learned how to love life, while remaining sovereign in your stance to not be caught up in some kind of constant emotion of "being in love." for that would be an aching drudgery (like how you as a teen felt was the way of love).

Pretend to love everyone so you can be selfish and actually not love anyone but yourself?

Seems sensible.

What could you possibly know about me? Oh, you're projecting YOURSELF onto me. Cute.

I just read what you just wrote above and translated the guff.

Looks like I hit a nerve.

So much hubris, it inspires pity, nothing else.
