Life is always about self replication. Look at the cell, the organism, the ecosystem.

High power concentration, is a relative term. In this case Eve says, 'How wonderful it is to be wise'.

The motif in life is not of exclusivity, but conjunctions. Like Hegelian dialectics. Or Solomon's 'time' for everything.

Observation is also a time function. So self replication is both a process and objective, it only depends on observation times.

'You shall be like God'. This was the devil's argument, which, was a truth.

Eve's statement was an acknowledgement of the statement.

God later acknowledges, 'Man has become like us'.

When a program is running within confines, one is confident and 'innocent'.

When a bug is revealed what happens?
Shame and guilt come in.

What changed was how man began to see himself via the mirror.

Without an other, a mirror, one feels incomplete. He cannot see.

But when there's another, one sees his/her incompleteness.

Love becomes a search/ pursuit for completeness.

Love fosters completeness through identification. The incomplete is accepted and embraced, and in this, guilt and shame are defeated.

Love is the debugging of the program.

Yes. We are attracted to people who can complete us. This is what is implied when Eve is called a 'helper'.

Me too. You have taught me a lot of new things. I'm very grateful.

Yes. I almost mentioned it last time (not in this form exactly). But something held me back.

But you've got it right. And brought in the transformative nature of love.

Or rather, completeness is a result of transformation or 'spiritual growth'.

'Ditto!'

Thanks for the address. I will use it.

@Mahegoat, your observations about my post are not so wrong! Yet they are not absolutely correct. (A case of fuzzy logic?)

I think it is important for us to think about how we are communicating, for ultimately, it is also how we love, or better put, how we participate in love.

Though I deftly avoided to speak about my parents, I 'answered' your question.

And my answer created the uncertainty you have perceived in me.

But you have certainly not seen it!

And therefore you are also uncertain.

We are both incomplete.

But then you ask a question. Why do you ask the question? That is, what is the motive?

My interpretation was you care about the answer?

And so this post has a motive. Can you feel it? Does it correspond to your motive?

My motive is to understand how we love. How you love. How I love. And then how the subject of my love loves me (you) back or how I judge that she/he is loving me (you) back.

You said "But I called her a while ago. And yes, I felt good, and her voice was soothing and full of cheer. So latest data shows presence of love.

Hehehe! I don't know how our next encounter will be like though. She has a free mind, you know!"

Makes me wonder.

Is she the banker?

You "visit" her and marvel at her facade, her twins, her attire, Thailand et al. She transacts for you, even calls upstairs to speedy your transaction. She smiles and you feel good and with that picture in mind, you leave.

The next day you visit, she is probably off for the day and you do not like her replacement. That day, the desk and the bank make less because the lovers do not meet and "consummate" their love.

OR. Is she the Lecturer?

You take the Philosophy and Psychology of Finance option because you are enamored by the Lecturer, her facade, her twins, her attire, her Thailand et al.

It is a tough subject, few pass, but you excel. She asks a question. Nobody answers, no raised hands, non make eye contact. Oh but you do. Mr. Tycho? she purrs. And you are off. Verse and chapter, author, book title, edition and year of printing. The class claps in awe. She smiles at you and love is in the air.

This semester, she is a visiting Professor at another University thus you speak of But I called her a while ago. The new Lecture is perplexed. You miss lectures, your CATS are accident scenes and you are miles away during Q and A sessions.

Tell me I am wrong.
