Why love is so powerful
According to one of my themes, we as humans are all interconnected, just as our cells are connected to the body as a whole. The body supplies oxygenated and nutrient-rich blood to all cells, and reciprocally, all cells work together to maintain the health, function, and life of the body.
The connection of individual cells to the whole body and to each other requires each individual to become wise and strong enough to balance all kinds of relationships. This necessitates being a CEO who can manage all departments and understand the values of each aspect of life, personal identity, and respect. For example, love and reciprocation require a perfect balance within a triangle. Being in love with another cell is crucial because ultimately, you will reproduce new cells to sustain both God and humanity. Yet, since you cannot breathe or function alone, you must reciprocate at least by reproducing. This alone makes me against abortion and assisted dying, but the liberal in me, advocating for equal human rights, tears me apart.
It’s not a matter of choosing one over the other; it’s the combination that nature demands. The connection between cells is strongly influenced by chemicals, or rather, hormones. While there is much to learn about our behaviors and hormones, when it comes to our connection to the whole body, I call it a soul connection. If you reduce yourself solely to a physical entity, you neglect the spiritual side of being human. Interestingly, you cannot choose spirituality alone either. As an individual, you must navigate both realms because you are a useful and functioning cell while you are alive. There are numerous theories and protocols about life after death, but there is no solid, conclusive evidence. You can believe whatever your religion teaches you to keep you politically controlled and conformist. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this until you start killing each other over theories of the afterlife.
There is a powerful physical attraction that binds us through our emotions, and these emotions are influenced by hormones. If we were not drawn to each other, there would be a flaw in our makeup. Therefore, there is a powerful natural force behind our attraction to one another. Ignoring this nature and attempting to live solely through intellect leads to imbalances in physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects, irrespective of religious teachings.
Personally, I believe there is a natural wisdom behind this powerful attraction—that it is the order we follow. Like all other creatures, we are drawn to powerful love. Throughout history, there is nothing more discussed than love—books, movies, and our fascination with it. It is so powerful that we cherish love stories regardless of our intellectual advancements. So why do people continue to seek a mate even if they live lives filled with intellectual concerns, worrying themselves to death about starting a family with a stranger? Then there’s the darker side of love, which involves violence and even suicides due to love lost. Our social fabric is so influenced by love that I believe it transforms humanity from violent beasts into loving beings, although I sometimes suspect it’s still the loss of love that returns us to our uncivilized state. Therefore, love both makes and breaks us as human beings.
My understanding is that the order is inherent or divinely ordained—to love, so that the reproduction of cells continues indefinitely to uphold God’s existence. We are under the illusion of choice, yet despite our sense of belonging to religious rules, traditions, customs, or wars and disputes, the mixed human population continues to grow.
Love is not merely a physical emotion; it transcends that—it is a natural order. Thus, I believe it is also spiritual. You can choose not to follow it, but your happiness, health, and emotional well-being are closely tied to it. Perhaps we need to evolve to a higher level of understanding to fully grasp the power of this remedy.
Therefore, love is the potent emotion behind why we are drawn to each other. Loving another cell of the body is not just a chemical reaction; it is a spiritual command. Sufism discusses this, but mainstream religions dismiss it because they fall victim to powerful political controls.
You can choose to limit yourself and falsely feel secure in a loving relationship with another cell, or you can lose yourself and surrender to the whole body, but both are extremes. For example, focusing on just one tree and allowing it to grow so large that everything else in the forest becomes insignificant can shrink your life. However, choosing the entire forest for your personal consumption has the potential to help you live a less stressful life.
If security is a concern, you must believe in the forest or become part of humanity or a cell of God. Choosing another individual or even a group of people makes them just as vulnerable as yourself. This can exacerbate insecurities and control issues—from personal relationship problems to wars. Our behaviors are driven by the need to secure ourselves with insecure individuals or groups, but true security lies in joining humanity or God as a whole.
Imagine a tree felled by a storm—you step onto the trunk and start walking toward all the branches, soon finding yourself at a crossroads. Life is like that—if you’re insecure, you’ll choose the path that’s already paved and safe. However, if you’re a natural path-carver, you won’t hesitate to forge new paths for others. Trends, friends, and family may urge you to choose what they believe is right for you. If you want to fit in, impress others, or be admired by society, you may ignore the unique picture of your personal life. Ignoring your personal picture eventually means ignoring your happiness and contentment in your mortal life, making a big mistake.
