There seems to be somewhat of a contradiction from the evolutionists perspective of love. On the one hand, love is the result of a evolutionary process to promote ones survival and quality of life. The theory revolves around the assumption that you have strength in numbers rather than fighting for survival on your own ect. This is true. However, why is it that when love turns inward and self serving that it fails? It seems the more one focuses on oneself, the less love one has to offer. Just look at the narcassistic relationships in Hollywood. If they last more than 5 years we are amazed. Conversely, the more one invests in others and is about self sacrifice rather than self preservation, the more love seems to abound.

Originally posted by OneFlewOvertheNestLove is a natural and innate thing to do. When we choose not to love problems arise. Problems arise in regards to those we choose not to love as well as for the person who chooses not to love. Psychological, emotional, and spiritual consequences occur on a personal level when we choose not to love. It is my definition of sin.
''Love'' is for everyone.

Why? Nietzches breakdown was most likely not related to his work. Most educated people (I actually hate that phrase, but if it suites me) agree that it was probably a syphilitic infection or brain cancer of sorts, that brought on his insanity.
