"Love is the desire to have the good forever"
The desire for immortality must be recognized as a valid base, at the core of our being. Not only the desire for our own immortality, but for the lasting of everything good and beatiful, the desire for the moment to drag on into infinity.
This is attachment as we know it, the grasping on to everything recognized as good in a hopeless attempt to tip the scales. Love, I would argue, in its true form, is found in the accepting of transience and thus things for what they truly are.
"Dealing with reality on reality's term."

Was a reading assignment for my philosophy course. Found it extremely hard to read and get through. The fact it was written so long ago was really neat though and gave me a cool perspective which is why I gave it a 2.
