Some progress, nothing concrete!

I found a few sites that analyze love from a philosophical perspective:

Kenny Pearce's blog
Stanford Encyclopedia of philosophy

The first of these sets out to prove the statement: Love is a deeply internalized belief in the intrinsic value of the beloved.

The second is more like a textbook chapter that lists the various "forms" of love: philia, eros, agape.

A confession: I have not read either of those two through. I thought they might help me answer my question, but then I realized that the answer to my question should not be based on what philosophers surmise! I ought to think on my own and come up with something for myself!

I believe emotions quite often do not subscribe to laws of logic and "rationality" (this word in quotes because I am unable to define it), hence a logical analysis of love seems contradictory.

I am going to end the post here partly in order to explain the title, but really because everything that I tried to write after this either did not make sense or was not right for this post!

The first set of questions

Reading "The Zahir" by Paulo Coelho has left me with some unanswered questions. Some questions are by-products of more menial tasks, while some have been with me for a while!

What is love?
What is freedom?
What are Jacobian matrices? How do I use them to solve the problem that I am trying to solve?
Where will I find bliss? Is it "worth it" looking for bliss? Why don't I just enjoy the journey instead!
Why do some emotions inspire(unleash?) creativity? Despair, longing, jealousy, anger, happiness....

Too many question marks in this post... I will try and remedy that in the next one.

And I think I'm going to enjoy blogging :-)

Thanks goods ;-)

Welcome to my world

A few of my friends have been pushing me to "blog". I wonder what the philosophy of blogging is about! I definitely don't want to expose my inner self to the world, at least not right now! But I think writing down some questions, some answers, some experiences and some unorganized thoughts will be good for me. So here goes!

PS: I hope some of you folks (does anyone really read random, unknown blogs?) will leave a comment once in a while!
