    Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.
    Ok, so we need to have a talk about love. Love is a nice feeling, but too much love can be a problem.

    I seem to recall there was an experiment in mice that they could press a button and trigger happiness electrodes hooked into their brains designed to send a stimulus. Well, the mice decided to push the button again and again instead of taking care of themselves and even eating.

    Now, suppose you're in a spiritual place of existence outside of the body. If love would radiate outward like heat or light, one might sit down and just absorb the love rather than go places and experience the world. A nice state to be in, but the love could be provided by a mechanism designed to send out love waves as a reward for staying, but if you're in such a position it's just common sense that you should want to get out of there as soon a possible (it's not real love).

    :peace:
