| One with a reduced capacity for human love (that is, without capacity for romantic sentiments; familial love aside) but a heightened capacity for abstract love (a more spiritual side of love, be it for $Deity, an idea such as "truth" or "wisdom" or "justice", or something else similarly abstract) is a lesser person that should be pitied because zie is "missing out" on the valuable experience of romantic love.
Especially so if zie is happy with the way zie experiences love and does not wish to change it.
Can it even *be* changed?
That is: is romantic love of some sort (no matter your sexual preference) a necessary component of a fulfilling life?
What about for an asexual (I know there are different kinds of asexuals, but in this case, one with no desire for sex whatsoever)?
Opine.
P.S. My grandma was the reason I have visited Vancouver at least every summer ever since I was born (there, in fact). Yes, I grieved for her, but no more than I grieved for any of my other sorrows (Sunderings I [End of Innocence] and II [Vision of Deception]).
P.P.S. This has been bugging me all morning.
P.P.P.S. I am tormented inside also for the hurtful misunderstandings that my position in this subject has brought me. |
