You are not supposed to have sexual desire (or lust) for a person that is directly related to you. This was not always the case. One only need to glance back as far as the bible or ancient Egypt to know that sisters and brothers would very often marry and have children. This had to do with their concept of lineage and that the Pharaoh was indeed a God placed on earth to govern and rule. And that brings us to british royalty how?

Well it’s a bad idea for close relatives to get together and breed. I think both genetic issues and socialization would tend to advice against this but it happens. Of course people always make the jokes and there is still the existent stereotype of the creepy people living in the Ozarks that marry their first cousins and have children. Entire towns are thought to share a common heritage. This is based in reality historically but like anything else, gets overblown.  Most of the time the kids are normal unless the inbreeding is substantial (several generations)and then the offspring start to develop hereditary health issues.
Yeah we kind of covered all that if you scroll up. Its primarily recessive genetic disorders. You are just increasing the likelihood of the visible symptomatic form of the disease to show up in subsequent generations. So that's how the Amish look came to be. Good to know. |

Love -- What is the difference between love that you feel for a friend/relative and love that you feel for someone you are *in love* with? If you truly love your friend, then I do not think you should separate that into lesser categories. However it seems to be human emotions are very malleable and plastic things. So I doubt I speak for anyone but myself. Maybe you're just more pure than me, but sexual pleasure of a peculiar type is often present in three to four year old, and even younger, people. It is nice to think that one reaches a point of personal development and inner enlightenment were sex dissapears and only wonderful people emerge around one. But to some extent I think that the mind is constantly analysing it's position in this regard. Maybe as one gets older the position is that of not caring aobut gender, or as a professional instructor. In isolated peoples or aristocracies, like Hawaii for example, interbreeding was performed to keep a line going, and I doubt that it made them less the relative type than that of the quality of realtionships in the ordinary lot of man. The only thing which stricks me wrong about it is that socially it unerrs order. If you like a firend, their is not a harm in it, but it may make you more apt to engage in creating a future where your whims can be carried out, and such behavoir may tap into other areas of life. One could think that if they got this person, that they could create situations for profit or other rubish were creative endeavors are spent for personal aims. Being sensitive to see that the fine line is adjustable is not a bad thing. It just means that one is capable of forming new events and situations, and has a creative element involved. Whether this skill is applied to things of professional interest, like ones work or scientific interest, or others is where the crux of the responsibilty lies. There are many types of love, but I think they are just gradients. Love for food, shelter, and what provides. Love for companions, friends, and social situations. Love for a hobby, a thing, or learning. Love for humanity, the good, because onw has stakes. Love for earth, existence, as it is realized to benefit all without superficial seperations. I think that the most pure is love without any reasons for doing so, a type of love not concerned with death or beginings or endings of any type. This last doesn't manifest in gain or one individual, but applies to all. |
