What's more powerful than love?

Question

Ever hear of men or women ditching their families for a man or woman that they like better than their current spouse, or even their children? This happened a lot in ancient times too, just read the link I have provided about Roman gladiators.

Do you think they do it sheerly because the new person is better looking than their spouse, and sexual/mental lust is more powerful than actual love? I think there may also be an evolutionary factor of natural selection at work here (the most beautiful or fit out-breed the less attractive/ugly). At least, that's what was happening to us humans before tolerance, birth control, monogamy, equal rights, and all that other UNNATRUAL BS took over. Ever notice that in the animal world, only a minority of males, the alphas, find a mate?

I believe dat da most powerful significance on earth is education, da more u study, da better, knowledge is power, no one can take it away 4rom u !!! whereas love, - people use dat just like any word, and dat to, too often !!! if u agree or disagee but still, itz a fact !!! love is no longer the most powerful force on earth !!! before love comes :

1. trust

2. faith

3. honesty

4. cooperation,support

5. care and concern

whilst in da different category:

1. money/finance

2. education

3. place to live

4, resources

5. needs and wants

and then love comes in, however,da list could have continued...love seems to have been lost somewhere out there, people say its around the corner, are we walking in circles???

Answer 3

Unnatural BS is exactly the problem. But the lack of love for The Creator is where the downfall occured. We'd rather please ourselves and others rather then the One who put us here in the first place. People take the temporary silver (this life) over the permanent gold (afterlife).

I tell you one thing, if polygamy was legalized and adultry criminalized, men would think twice and also be responsible for their actions. And I don't mean no "mormon" polygamy. I mean real polygamy, where the wives have their own separate houses, own cars, etc.

Answer 4

Money, no one cares how unintelligent you are if you have plenty of money to spend. Every one loves money.

Answer 5

Instinct

Answer 6

Love is the most powerful force on earth because the God that made it is love. There are 4 types of love. There is love based on emotion (the weakest type- sometimes not love at all but lust), family love, brotherly love, then haseed/agape love wich is the love of God/Jesus that no human could reproduce or understand fully
