Four Months Should Be All It Takes To Fall In Love Or Recognize The Truth

One of the certainties in life is that if you are going to understand something you invariably understand it right away or not at all.A famous investor said that with regard to investing either someone understood his method as he was explaining it or they never did.Likewise with falling in love you either do within a few months say four or there is no spark there and never will be.A religious fixation is analogous to falling in love in that one thought or person intersects on many levels to produce an attraction.In a religion or ideology it is the thoughts of that religion you love although many would deny it whereas in personal relationships it is the thought of the person you love.Although it is still the thought of the person you love because you do not know the person only their representation in your mind.So since these two phenomena are so powerful as to completely possess some people it seems that they employ the same emotions for the most part.The problem is that religions are like parasites and utilize the emotions needed for the continuation of the species and direct them to all sorts of useless and destructive ends.Your emotions have been hijacked by a virus for it's own ends.A religion which does not utilize love and hate the two most powerful emotions will of necessity lack the animus to grow and so will die.
