Altruisms and Love?
Love....is a game. A game that the rules constantly change. Love....represents a range of human emotions and experiences related to senses of affection and sexual attraction.
It can refer to variety of feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction. This diversity of meanings, combined with complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define.
In a way, doesnt love usually refer to a strong, ineffable feeling towards someone?
---------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- ----------------
Altruism- UNselfish concern to welfare of others. Wanting to do good WITHOUT rewards.
If one performs an act beneficial to others with a view to gaining some personal benefit, then it isn't an altruistically motivated act, right?
When you perform an act, do you not look for something in return?
Whether it be a material gain (like money, looks, etc) or immaterial (affection, repect, happiness, satisfaction etc.) Are you not looking for some reward?
Is this not a problem that ALL people have with Love? We act to get something back. That's how humans are, its what WE do.
People may or may not believe in Altruism, but with the people who do believe.. does that mean that they do things without looking for material or immaterial gain? When you donate to a charity (for example, Children's Hospital) you dont really expect to get any material gain from it, but what about immaterial? Isnt there a sense that you are REWARDED with respect and satisfaction? Is that what you are looking for when you do it?
---------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- ----------------
People in love, they act for each other because they care deeply for one another, correct? Is that selfishness or altruism? Are they OR aren't they expecting the same in return?
Can you sit there and think of something that you have done is an altruistically motivated act?

Lately, I have become really busy running around from where I live to Detriot. Its been really hectic lately, so much that my personal life is subtle. My work has been affecting my life greatly. I started to date this really nice guy, but I could not manage it so told him that I could not be how I wanted since my schedule is going crazy right now. eh, I have enough time to date later. Right now is time to chase my dream.
Im working on making my own music and becoming a songwriter. Also practicing for my showing in new york and korea. I have a few weddings this summer to attend to and perform at as well. I have made a myspace recently to show off my talent and get it out there to the public! please take a look and enjoy.

Accept to Hangkuk University and I get a $100,000 car? WTHECK?
So here is how this goes...
My 어머니(mother, pronounced- uh muh ni) Park Chongsuk found out I was accepted to Hangkuk University. If you are American, etc you probably will not know what I am talking about, so think... Yale or Harvard.
Well, she was so excited as I told her on the phone, she literally screamed. She said she almost had a heart attack. After I told her, about a week after, I was getting letters from old neighbors in Gangwondo Providence and our neighbors in Seoul as well. Congratulating me and what not. It was weird. It felt like, as if, everyone I once knew in my entire lifetime had known the news. Then about a week and a half ago, I got a call from my mother. She said that she had my uncle Geong Woo send me pictures. I asked of what and she did not tell me. So I checked, and it was a brand new lexus! >.<
It's the new 2008 lexus ls600. Wow! Its brand new, so I know its alot. I am so grateful and blessed to have a car like that, but jeez its so much! >.<!
Well, I have a new car waiting for me when I return home from studying abroad in the States.
나는 지금 아주 행복. (^-^) 대단히 감사합니다 엄마!
