%LEGALLY BLOCKING LOVE 781002
It is impractical to legally prevent the use of laws
to block love; we cannot use laws as techniques to prevent
the use of laws to block love. Some kinds of inhumane
behavior cannot be prevented through the use of laws; and
an example of such inhumane behavior is the use of laws to
block love. For this reason, it is legal to use laws to
block love. Many people are legally blocking love's
expressions---using laws to do so, and doing so within the
bounds of legal propriety.
The objectification of love leads to legalism which
attempts to fulfill the law of love through objective
behavior. Once love has been objectified, it is necessary
to work to fulfill the expectations of legalized love---
ethics, morality, etiquette, etc. In the name of
fulfilling love, it becomes necessary to prevent
unpredictable spontaneous behavior which might undermine
the fulfillment of the expectations of the law. Thus, in
the name of love, laws are used which block the
spontaneous communications which might undermine the rules
which were designed to assure loving behavior. In this
manner, spontaneous communication is blocked in the name
of promoting communication---in th name of love. Love is
legally blocked in the name of love. Only the law of love
works against such violence. Legalists do not see the
absurdity of legally blocking love's expressions.
Love is not essentially a feeling, nor bounded by
prescriptions regarding behavior. Affirmative
prescriptions are not fundamentally any better than are
prohibitive prescriptions. Motivations and feelings
cannot be prescribed. Behavior which is occasioned by
prescriptions is not equivalent to behavior which is
motivated by personal desires and feelings. Prescriptions
cannot motivate loving behavior because prescriptions
cannot motivate loving motivation, nor occasion loving
responses to love. Prescriptions tend to block
communication, rather than facilitate communication.
Required communication tends to be formal, rather
than friendly. Thus legalists tend to block love even
when they are trying to promote love. Their tool are
inappropriate to the task of facilitating communication.
Required courses in improved communication thus occasion
the reverse of what is intended, for the legalism tends to
block the love which would open up communication.
