According to Aristotle, love is the same soul occupying two bodies. In essence, its kind of like trying to get two people to share a heart, lungs, and brain while each not taking too much. Its a perfect harmony between two, neither give or take but a balance. Its difficult to maintain the balance if achieving it at all. Its worth it, but you can only try so much, and so hard before most give up. Its something you work for, something you constantly strive towards perfecting. Its each day working to improve the system, to better yourself not your partner, to accept them for who they are and what they have done. Its trying to listen rather than waiting to talk when you fight. Its walking hand in hand beside them in perfect stride regardless of your size differences even when both of you are blind to where you are going. Fear, pride, shame and uncertainty melt away under the light of true pure simple love. Its not complex or difficult to understand once you are there. You were satisfied with who you were, and now you are satisfied with yourself as a part of a whole that come of two rather than one. Its knowing that you are secure and comforted and doing the same with another. Its ignoring the doubts and fears to truly trust in another. Its someone being more to you than you are to yourself once you have learned to truly appreciate who you are and why others should appreciate you.
 
I dunno. I've always seen that 'love is a myth' statement as sort of a pity gatherer.

So I suppose that is manipulative.

Its more to gather interest in one's love life. Kind of like a net for potential suitors. You're seeking someone to prove the statement wrong whether or not you do believe. I mean its definitely a bit deceptive, but not really manipulative till they make the decision of what to do with those they have pulled in.

Fact: It can be manipulative to cause a lover to jump threw hoops to prove the opinion wrong.

Fact: Is listening to Duran Duran's "Rio," and for some reason, Bunny's animated signature GIF appears to match the tempo of the song. Weird. Maybe it's just me.

Didn't you know?
Fact: I hump to a beat.
 
Kawamura said:
I think you just defined manipulative when talking about before making that decision.

Mmm well manipulation would usually involve getting someone to do something they would not usually do. They're choosing to try to prove you wrong, now if you then took that and pushed it past what they would normally do, say trying to push them to be with you...
 
Manipulation is about controlling or influencing a person in a way that's very clever, usually with a feel of negative.

It's not about getting them to do what they wouldn't. One can manipulate a person in ways that don't result in action.

They'd be inclined to perform the action due to the manipulation. That's what I meant.

Oh well in that case yes.

@Kawa: I dunno, I've always thought it was supposed to be something unseen and clever maybe that's one of my issues. I mean short of skullduggery how is it that its manipulative if it can be picked up on without effort. I've never seen such as obvious ploy as manipulation, thus when I state certain things in jest some take it as actual effort. Well I've learned something new.
 
Fact: Re: Manipulation: There are all kinds of manipulation, and the level of skill involved does not change what they are. It's just some are noticeable and some are not.

On a theoretical note, does unconscious manipulation count? I mean, if a person does something and doesn't consciously intend for it to happen that way, but it really is that way subconsciously, does it count? You folks have me thinking, now.

Similarly, if a subject is the target of manipulation, yet decides, independently of the manipulation, that the given course of action is desirable, how culpable is the manipulator, really? Then we start getting into coincidental intent and theoretical situations, and it just becomes a big old mess.

Fact: I'm also a believer in certain degrees of subjective reality, at least when it comes to interpretation of the non-physical world. Which is why some people have absolute faith in a deity, for one example, and others have absolute faith in there being no deity, and neither one can be said to be objectively wrong. Therefore, motivations for posting said claim aside, it's entirely possible for said fact to be true... for certain individuals, within their own worldview. I therefore cannot comment either way about the accuracy of such a statement. I can only say whether I agree or disagree.

Yes. Being too weak to control your abilities does not absolve you of responsibility for misuse.
 
Fact: I really didn't mean for anything to happen by saying that > < I am shocked that it caused a whole page of discussion.

Fact: I am disgusted by how bright it is at 6:30 in the morning.

EDIT:
Last fact: BM was in my dreams last night XD
