Do you know what it means?

Who would like to discuss a recently discovered complex emotion that Aristotle et al missed?

I don't know what it means but I am curious. What is it?

Didn't get any Google results.

Walter De La Mare
Love of wife/spouse
Something to do with the prefix mal_

?

Or perhaps just the drugs he's on...

At least while he's tripping he's not being actively homophobic.

Ah yes the made up words

How we wuvs them.

agreed.

Damn good insight!

This will be an investigative and curious game. Let's start with "Mar; Marr; Mare" and see what comes up.

I have an excellent description that I will share soon. Maybe we could make up some new words in this thread?

But first, let's explore this one.

"Mar~_ _ _~_ _ _ _ _ _"
"Mar" could be described as ....

no, let's not explore this one.

you're so fucking manipulative and sneaky.

it's something i really don't appreciate.

why don't you just be straight up with your thoughts and ideas instead of trying to make fuckin riddles out of everything?

and while you're at it, you can go fuck yourself too.

i have no respect for anyone who can't be forthright with and stand behind their opinions 100%.

yeah, he is a fucking wanker isn't he.

but on a hot day by the beach i have marerophilia

marero is spanish for an onshore sea breeze, according to babelfish

"discovered" and emotion? and how would you go about that? it's more like we invented a word to correspond with an emotional state, in which case the word should be in the fucking dictionary telling us what it corresponds too.

We're working on creating the definition. I thought it might be fun to include the KR crowd with this concept.

"Marero"-- I like it. Off shore breeze does stimulate a feeling or emotion that we all can relate to. I am trying to describe an emotion that not everyone may have experienced.

Some people here need a sea breeze to "cool off" their ego.

Another aspect to "mare": a preternatural entity.

if your a marer your bruising something
ophilia is a sattelite near Uranus

if you put them together you get a bruise near Uranus.

so my guess is its the feeling of leaving your mark where no man has*or wants to*

Imaginative, but not very philosophic. This type of love (philia) would qualify for the mare (eg. nightmare) aspect of attempting to love(eros:sexual love)a horse (mare;philly) near(by) Uranus(an asshole).

Clever! Let's add this one to the definition. 6. The love of bruising your sexual partner's anus.

you're still fucking doing it!!

paladin, why can't you just tell us what the hell it is you expect us to "guess", huh?

why does it gotta be a game, huh?

can't just come right out and say it?

gotta make us come to some conclusion ourselves so you can say, "ah ha! that's it! that's what i'm trying to say!"

it's like you know you can't convince us of your beliefs, so you gotta try to trick us into first saying these things ourselves.

pussbag.

i agree.

OMGZ YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HOMOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

where the fuck are numbers one through five?

you're fucked up dude, you don't make any sense.

if the shit you smoked that made you post this doesn't kill you, i totally want some.

and if you fail to answer my questions again, i'll try my hardest to stay out of this thread from now on.

i like to debate, discuss, and argue, but not in a cowardly manner as you appear to want to.

Maybe you are having a difficulty with your creative ability. Dig deeper!

Is phillia a difficult concept?

not at all.

you're not gonna lead me to any of your false conclusions or definitions.

still can't answer questions i ask you huh?

funny, that.

there are many fundamental difference between you and i ya know.

for example, i'm straight foward and direct and if someone asks me a question, i can answer it.

guess this is where i should probably tell you to go fuck yourself eh?

alright then - go fuck yourself.

i'm done with this stupid topic and as far as i'm concerned anyone who "plays this game" with you has their head just as far up their ass as you do.

aaaaaaah. this makes a lot more sense now. I didn't know this thread was started by a nutter.

I was seriously sat looking at the last reply wondering how the hell Aristotle could have missed it if you were making it up now and so decided not to bother.

I feel it necessary to discuss this emotion before I post the description. I want to give anyone interested in love the option to identify this before I state my perspective. This way I can differentiate, with your help, the newly discovered complex emotion. I've discussed this with many people and they vaguely understand what I am trying to label. This may mean they have never experienced it personally.

We live in a new age. Why would it not be possible to experience something subjectively that has not been experienced objectively by all of humanity? Is it not possible that spirituality can evolve?

Mostly I am defining something that was known in more general terms; but it is a new point of view on the dynamics of love and marriage. Maybe a taboo subject in a materialistic world.

Come on! Show me some love.

dunno about phile, but phyllo is that crumbly stuff on spanakopitas and birds nests.

maybe it's a horse wrapped in a tender, flaky crust.

A brief description:

In his Rhetoric, Aristotle defines the activity involved in philia (?? ?????n) as:
"wanting for someone what one thinks good, for his sake and not for one's own, and being inclined, so far as one can, to do such things for him" (1380b36–1381a2)

John M. Cooper argues that this indicates:
"that the central idea of ???í? is that of doing well by someone for his own sake, out of concern for him (and not, or not merely, out of concern for oneself). [... Thus] the different forms of ???í? [as listed above] could be viewed just as different contexts and circumstances in which this kind of mutual well-doing can arise" (Cooper, p.302)

Aristotle takes philia to be both necessary as a means to happiness:
("no one would choose to live without friends even if he had all the other goods") and noble or fine in itself.
