linear disease

Does anyone truly know the answer to life? Not that I can think of. Some philosophers like socrates say the true meaning of life is to achieve a greater sense of good, this good leading up to an ultimate good or virtue that has no reward other than being in it self. As this is correlated it is believed by following philosophers that the ultimate good or virtue is happiness, and to even further that extent they also said that the closest one can understand that is to love not nessecarily for someone of the other sex but love in general is what it is to have achieved your meaning in life. To love is what the meaning of life is to many philosophers, but sadly they have also recorded that they have not fullly attained that in thier lifetime. It is a curious thing as to what love is but no one can really define it simply or linearly, if they can even attempt to explain it at all. We as logical beings decide to use our usual methods of factoring answers by defining what love is not rather than what it is but with such a linear train of thought there is no way to understand or explain what cannot be thought of linearly or logically. For those that think that love is a feeling, I feel that your on the road to discovering what real passion is, but not the basis of love. Even though these two idealogies are within the realm of each other, they Are two different entities altogether. These two concepts and idealogies cannot be mapped to one another by simply making a family tree of connections. If you think that you truly love someone it is not what you think of your family or close ones that is an entirely different entity in itself you cannot grasp what it is truly is until you have experienced it. No feeling or ideas can be simply connected as if they were close In relativity but treat them As completly different idealogies And as strangers to one another because no concept is similar. Similarities were only created to ease the boundries of which which we think it is a tool that let's us smudge the boundaries of what is really there. I cannot define what love is as to I am only human on my part , but we know that the concept of right and wrong are to different ideas altogether. This type of oblique thinking which has become so linear and contradictory to our way of thinking is now accepted as a constant/fact. If we are to treat our ideas in the same way these so called similarities will not be able to beguile us from what is truly in front of us as irrefutable evidence to what we choose to search for or search to define. Remeber when creating and exploring the answers for yourself that not everything is black and white and that every thing is clear cut and easily acceptable because this will only lead to much confusiion later when finding answers. There are many gray areas or undefinable things that we can't simply square off and save ourselves from panic as they aren't truly mention to be understood linearly as we are so commonly and comfortably set to think.
