tchaikv asked:
Do you believe in life after love?
I don’t know.
I have always thought that the question was silly or misguided and that what most people really mean when they ask it isn’t a simple “do you believe that love is the most important thing” question (at least for many people, including me). I’m not sure what this “life after love” would look like, or if it would be different from “life after anything else.”
It’s just as hard for me to say “I believe in a life after love” as it is for me to think “I believe in a life after being in grad school.”
There’s this idea of love as some sort of “transpersonal” experience, as if the very act of being in love were a kind of spiritual awakening – which may well be true for some people, as it can certainly seem that way when you’re in love (for a while) – but I don’t know if I could say I “believe in” that. For me it’s just another mundane activity that has many of the upsides and downsides that one normally associates with mundane activities.
