How To Fall In Love

[Eternalised]

“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”
- Nietzsche

[nopethanks]

To love is to commit to being a better damn that hits hard

Are you trying to tell me something syphilis

Nothing better than watching a Sisyphus video bout love while drowning in the loneliness

3:48 This was a very succinct explanation of what depression does to you. You genuinely love flowers, but you neglect to water them because your illness has made you incapable of caring. You've lost "perhaps the most fundamental" piece of a critical human experience: the ability to love. chills.
side note: been single all 18 years of my life. i've always craved the intimacy of romance, but it's important not to take platonic love for granted :)

Idk why, but this video made me feel a bit better about spending Valentine's day alone again

The amount of pessimism is this comment section is really disheartening. You are all capable of both giving and receiving something so precious, but its just like he says in the video and the effort it takes is immense for someone who hasn't tried before. Get out of your comfort zone and put the effort in, and you will often times see that suddenly your comfort zone has expanded.

This video helped me realise that I love my closest friends very much, not in a romantic way, but we all go about our friendship with eachother the same way described in the video. We're interested in eachother and their growth, we genuinely respect eachother and we always try to help when needed. I would be so depressed if anything happened to sever our friendship

I’ve been married for the better part of a decade now and I have to agree with Fromm in that it is harder work than you initially believe.

*edit* thinking about this a bit more I’m reminded of a thing I was told just before I married my wife, advice I thought was ridiculous at the time. Every day when you get up, you have to make the conscious decision to love your partner. Early in a relationship when love is effortless, this sounds absurd, like... how unromantic is that, having to consciously decide that you love someone. But as time goes on and you hit some turbulence and meet challenges, you and your partner change and become a little different than when you started. That effortless love eventually dissipates and without an anchor you may eventually float apart, never seeing each other again.

Love is difficult at every stage. Early love is fickle and easily extinguished, but intense and effortless. Later love is less fickle, and with proper care and feeding far more durable, but still requires work or else it’ll erode away into nothing.

- Simplicity, patience, compassion.These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world. -Lao Tzu

I'm digging the projector animation sequences, and also the new visuals for quotations. Great content as always!

"Hopefully this video helps"

As someone who's been in several years long relationships through my late teens through my twenties I have to say this video is so true. Love is an intricate and complex dance filled with so many subtle meanings/gestures.

Currently I'm turning 31 tomorrow and this is the first Valentine's Day I've been alone in a very long while. I came to the realization after my last breakup I was focusing too much on my partner and not on myself, not allowing myself to grow and change. Working on that now so hopefully my next relationship (whenever that'll happen) will have some sort of a base instead of being a wild flung start that sizzles out in the second or third year.

I liked the note you added about “committing to being a better person.” I think it’s important for those in love to know that change and compromise within oneself can lead to a healthier relationship :)

Instructions unclear, although I did fall so no dislike.

[hemantkarasala]

Wow, that philosopher dude is spot on, a lot of folk would come to similar conclusions with experience, about what is the right way to love. For too many, its about control, status and about enriching the self at the expense of the growth and freedom of the other.

[hamsh-ilei]

Great advice, shame no one who watches this has anyone to apply it to
