Perhaps once we are done affirming the importance of loving acceptance of what is, we can have a discussion about Beginner's Mind.
Well I mean, assuming I'm supposed to take your claim literally, there are at the very least a wide variety of other positive emotions other than love, and each point in that spectrum applies to different situations. The idea that it would always be love as opposed to ever being something else is absurd.
I believe the argument is that all positive emotions belong in the broad category of love.

cB you should read Atlas Shrugged it is a very informative and brilliant work
Alright, I'm fairly certain I've got at least three stock "Atlas Shrugged is terrible" memes that I can use here. Anyone have any preference for which one I use?

I wasn't making a statement about emotion but rather judgment. You can be happy, sad, hurt, or whatever, and still choose to act on love.
That can be said... about anything else, really.

Not quite.
Someone hugs me -> this is an act of love!
Someone flips me the bird -> this person obviously is in need of love at some level, whether they just woke up on the wrong side of the bed or what.
All human action can be interpreted as either love or a call for love.

Wait what age is the correct age to be sexing things by forum consensus?
When it's not a crime and is consensual.
Enthusiastic consent++
Ehh. Enthusiastic Consent === consensual.
My friend is actually writing her dissertation on consent and sex. She's helped convince me that consent ought not to be how we judge the appropriateness of sexual contact.
Because there are times where there is not consent but there is clearly nothing wrong done, so a lack of consent can't really be the wrong making property.
She thinks it has to do with sexual identity, which looks like consent, but isn't. It's interesting, though I haven't done a whole lot of reading because it's well outside of my area of study.

I'd be interested to hear this argument and also her examples, because consent is pretty much the crux of modern theories of sexual ethics.

Memes are not original thoughts. original thoughts are the best. go with those.

Someone hugs me -> this is an act of love!
Someone flips me the bird -> this person obviously is in need of love at some level, whether they just woke up on the wrong side of the bed or what.
All human action can be interpreted as either love or a call for love.
I think put that way it's somewhat reductive, but I agree with the general sentiment.
One can also be motivated by need, or by justice (which is, I think, the most dangerous motivator of all).

Hell, informed consent is pretty damned pivotal to modern ethical theory writ large.

If viewed as tools of love, justice can be a good and compassionate thing. Our current implementation of justice is failing because it relies not on love (ie good outcomes) for victims, perpetrators, and society but rather seeks to achieve vengeance.

Is Atlas Shrugged the movie(s) worse than Atlas Shrugged the book?

you may want to edit it out
It was, uh, a test! Yes! A test!
And our young padawan has passed flawlessly!
also this metaphor is a lot more literal than one might think
new expansion or something?

If you're pro tier, you produce memes, not recapitulate them.
