Episode 320: Love has nothing to do with relationships

<p>This will be a bitter pill to swallow for many people, but love has nothing to do with relationships. Whereas relationships are the medium through which value is transacted -- and, therefore, require rules, definitions, and compromises in order to "do business" -- love is royally indifferent to all of these things and expects nothing in return. This is because relationships are about getting what you want, while love is a passage into a higher form of life through the gateway of the humiliated self. And since love only wants what is best for the other -- without care of its own self-interest -- love can only justifiably want a relationship if that relationship were in the best interests of the other...which it probably isn't.</p> <p>Social Media</p> <p>Facebook: <a href='https://facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090053889622'>https://facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090053889622 </a></p> <p>LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/orion-taraban-070b45168/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/orion-taraban-070b45168/ </a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href='https://instagram.com/psyc.hacks'>https://instagram.com/psyc.hacks </a></p> <p>Twitter: <a href='https://twitter.com/oriontaraban'>https://twitter.com/oriontaraban </a></p> <p>Website: <a href='https://oriontarabanpsyd.com'>https://oriontarabanpsyd.com </a></p> <p>Thinking of going to grad school?
