Theorizing Relationships

I am going to do something healthy and deviate from my usual angst and talk about relationships in general. A couple of good friends and I talked a lot this evening about this subject. It started off with the idea of our capacity to know what is true. We talked about starting with a premise of not accepting the truth from any source until tested to a subjective yet thorough satisfaction level. And that very few things are easy to define as true; specifically in regards to more esoteric constructs that may currently be too complex for us to yet define scientifically. Via experience, one of my friends stated that so far love and producing healthy relationship bonds seem to be the only two ideas that hold up for him in this category. I agreed to find them to be true for myself, my thought being that we have evolved to have relationships and express acts of love as a means to create and maintain them. That healthy bonds and acts of love, as a species, are valuable traits to build community. As community is an advantageous way to adapt to our environment in spite of what may be otherwise inhospitable were it not possible. From there we talked about the impact of bonds and subsequently community on its surroundings. We discussed the idea of the existence of species capable of creating community as impacting reality. Almost as gravity is the observed effect of mass warping the space around it so are individuals with the capacity for bonds capable of warping others around them for good or ill. Continuing communities then could do the same with other communities. Taking this microscopically perhaps then the human race, by our existence, will also impact other alien species with the capability to have community. It's not to say it is inevitable however if alien contact is made, whether we exist or simple via the artifacts we leave behind, then the impact will occur at some level. It was fun to think about. And perhaps we are just a small part of the cosmic community of this reality. It is very interesting to live in a universe were such complexity exists. It may bring a positive motivation inside each of us towards heathly relationships created and maintained with acts of love. It gives me much desired hope for my future considering my present troubles.
