I'll leave you love birds alone, now. Moderator, maybe it's for the best to clean the discussion about moving so we don't kill the thread now that it's in its proper place...

I hope you are happy.

Let me guess: you order your closet by clothes' color
and can't stand the spoon and the fork not to be aligned
next to your plate, right?

His opposition isn't because he's orderly.. he seems to be more comfortable with conflict.

Love scares some people. It's too nice to be real. Man the barricades and ship it to Spirituality.

I hadn't thought about it. Is that germane?

Well, if your point is that I wanted to ship it here so I don't have to see it and be scared, then yes. It is.

It needn't have been shipped here.

Brotherly love is a basic human instinct. It can be discussed in a public forum without framing it in a religious context.

You don't think the OP was framed in a religious context?

Seems you don't know what a soliloquy is.

It would be fantastic, until someone figured out that if they cheat the system, they can personally benefit even more - at the expense of everyone else.

The world as it is, is a balance of acting selfishly and acting communally (lovingly?). The highest benefit for all, is when everyone acts communally, but there is a higher benefit individually, if you act selfishly, but only when others are acting communally. Its a complicated balance.
