cornelius Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 i just had a conversation about it on AIM... odd, but whatever.. girl: how do you define polygamy? cornelius: i'd say it would be having more than one significant other, and i can't do that girl: how come? (not that you should...just curiosity) cornelius: well take what i have now for example, all the feelings and emotions are directed towards tilley, that's how i feel.. girl: you look at love as a limited resource and if you spread it out between more than one person there's less for each to go around? cornelius: hahaha.. no no.. i guess i'm trying to say.. if i'm in love with someone it's impossible for me to have those same feelings for someone else girl: hmm.. crazy cornelius: when i'm in love with one person.... i'm not worried about anyone else girl: hmm cornelius: i'm not searching for anyone.. i've found who i was searching for girl: yeah that's not what i'm sayin cornelius: off topic, but i smell like chili.. girl: i'm glad if you, or anyone, can find all of your needs and desires (and whatever) met & fulfilled in a single person girl: what if tilley (or whoever you might be with) found that she wanted to be involved in "romantic" (or whatever you wanna call em) relationships with other people in addition to you.? cornelius: i would feel kind of heartbroken girl: how come? cornelius: what we shared wouldn't seem as special... pretty simple answer girl: why? i mean, i think that each relationship between two people is totally unique---people like each other for different reasons, on different levels, and in different ways. no combination of people can ever be duplicated so the relationship between you two would be no less special, as i see it cornelius: i try not to mix logic with emotions... it tends to muffle things... cornelius: they don't seem as pure... girl: it's your life and your relationships. and whatever works for you--whatever your heart really tells you--is best. i'm just asking. cornelius: yeah i know cornelius: i would feel as if i didn't mean as much cornelius: i guess if you saw us you would understand....... it's as if we connect on every level... we share everything... it's perfect girl: all i'm saying is, it could...i don't know...be interesting, maybe even worth something, to explore why that would make you feel like it didn't mean as much. to me it's kind of like your best friend having other friends; it doesn't change the uniqueness, specialness, beauty, strength, depth, or worth of your relationship with your best friend girl: i've been in love i know how that is. it's amazing, and i'm happy for you cornelius: the way i look at it, she's more than a best friend girl: of course she is girl: that's not what i'm saying cornelius: the things we share... it's something that only we have..... if she were to share those sorts of feelings for others..... it would make me feel as if i weren't worth as much girl: i'm just saying that having multiple relationships of the same general type doesn't necessarily diminish the worth (or anything else) of each individual relationship girl: but how i look at it, she could never share those same exact emotions with someone else girl: cos it's you she feels them for and it's you and she together that bring out those feelings in her. any other combination would be different. perhaps no less special, but in its own way. different. cornelius: if you're completely in love with someone... how could you share that with another? i mean.... the other relationship wouldn't even seem that special.. cornelius: and if she shared what we have with someone else.... then it wouldn't really be love at all.. girl: you can be completely in love with more than one person, each for different reasons and in its own way. it's not sharing what you have....it's having many unique loves girl: i just don't believe in property of objects, or people. i don't think loving one person makes you less able to love another...fully, or at all girl: given, it can be intense to focus a ton on many people...you only have so much time, after all girl: but love is not a limited resource. cornelius: i'm not saying she's my property girl: i know. i'm not saying you are cornelius: i'm not saying it's a limited resource girl: i'm not saying you are cornelius: i'm saying i'm in love with her. and i don't even want to think about starting relationships with other people girl: that's fine cornelius: because she's everything i've ever dreamed of, and more girl: i think that this conversation is intermixing ideas on the subject in general, with your current personal life which isn't what i meant to do at all. cornelius: well logically, your theory does make sense but emotionally it just doesn't work for me girl: whatever works for you, is what is best. like i said. your heart knows better than any theory of any kind cornelius: yeah, i don't get too political with my love it would fuck things up for sure. i go with what my heart tells me... if i think about things, i'll fail girl: but...i'm not saying this is you at all...but in general, sometimes people confuse their own emotions with social conditioning. so i think when it seems possible/workable, and worthwhile, it's worth looking into. which is all i try to do on this subject. cornelius: ... yeah..

cornelius Posted December 15, 2001 Author Share Posted December 15, 2001 no, love is not a limited resource. i can't even begin to understand how anybody could materialize love in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HAL Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 Right on man. Feelings for another person isn't like an oil reserve. It lasts forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Tesseract Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 I always want to feel that special things in my life are meant for ME, you may call that selfish or whatever but thats the only way i can be dedicated to something. Wisest line: "cornelius: yeah, i don't get too political with my love it would fuck things up for sure." Dumpest line: "girl: i just don't believe in property of objects, or people. i don't think loving one person makes you less able to love another...fully, or at all" It seems to me that trying to be open to many options really distracts you from finding your self and the things that you feel complete with. I'm not saying that one should be wearing blinkers, finding whats 'right' is a tough break but once you're close to it, it needs dedication. Its a form of emotional greedyness(sp?), people that think that expanding has to do with jumping from one thing to another when its all about things that LEAD you to other things. On a political sidenote, utopias, sadly, dont work out. They exist as an idea but there is no practical pattern of appliance in them. Communism is a great example.
