You make it sound shitty. It's better than that. It's holy and brings you closer to God.

It is far from shitty, and much bigger than "god"

you're 46 and refer to God as "imaginary figure in the sky"?

Love is not an ooey gooey emotion that makes you feel better about yourself. It is a concrete course of action, it's the way you treat others on a daily basis. If you want love you have to give love.

>>14594291
No, it's an imaginary friend in people's heads. They imagine it in the sky or that general direction.

The proper existential relation towards the other. Recall that subjectivity is truth (per Kierkegaard) in the sense that the true or correct mode of existential relation is to relate with self as a subject (subjectively) rather than with self as an object (objectively). "Love" is the name of the proper subjective relation to another, a recognition that the other-for-myself is not only distinct from the other-in-itself but, inasmuch as it is subjective and thus in the truth, higher. Furthermore, one ought to recognize the paradoxical nature of the relation such that its deepening is one of pathos rather than dialectic, analogous to the difference between Religiousness A and paradoxical-religiousness. Indeed, the analogy between faith and love is, in the ultimate sense, not analogy at all but identity. Faith is the paradoxical passion that trusts that eternal happiness (the ultimate telos) can proceed from a finite historical event (the life of the god incarnate); love the paradoxical passion that shades of that same happiness can proceed from a relation with a finite human being. It goes without saying that only the Christian can love with the heart and the understanding also.
