My random thought on Valentine's Day:
Premise 1 : No one is looking for an unlovable life partner to love.
Premise 2 : Love means loving the unlovable.
Conclusion : No one is looking for love.
Agree?

given premise #2, hmmm..... what do those who are married or those who are engaged say?
In the first place, is there such thing as the 'unlovable'? :P
Hem..congratz for new blog theme :)
then wanna say Happy Valentine :)
*no chocolate of course :D*
Hem..really2 wild premises
'unlovable' word have subjective meaning for each of us :)
Hi all, thanks for commenting on my random thought. :)
@apeh:
The unlovable can refer to the unlovable "parts" of a person. Everyone has his/her own unlovable "parts". Or there may be times when one somehow becomes unlovable. It is ONLY when we love this unlovable "parts", NOT ONLY the lovable ones, that it can be said that we love.
And in case someone thinks that I am only talking about people who are married, engaged or having a BF/GF in premise 1, my contention is that NO one is NOT looking for a life partner to love. This life partner may be a person (husband, wife, best friend, etc), a pet (dog, cat, etc), or even a thing (MacBook, iPad, iPod, etc).
@ Ind:
Do you have someone whom you regard as your enemy? Or do you have someone who have hurt you so badly in any sense? Or do you ever have a friend who is very annoying? I believe you will answer "yes" to at least one of these questions. So, there you are. The unlovable.
@ Ester:
Thanks, Ester. I don't usually celebrate Valentine's Day. But since you greet me, well, happy Valentine's Day too! :D
Eh, wild premises? Who do you think they are wild?
Yes, absolutely, any words will have a subjective meaning since each one of us has our own unique experiences. But it doesn't mean that it has no objective meaning at all. At least there is a roughly common understanding which most, if not all, people will agree.
Hmmm.. I thought 'unlovable'= inability to be loved, hence my question. I think there's no such thing as 'unlovable'. Though, on the other hand, I can only think 'unloved' or even 'hated' will be more fitting for the things you mentioned. XD
Hi Ind,
In Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary 'unlovable' is defined simply as 'not easy to love'. I am a Christian. And, coming from a Christian perspective, I agree with this definition. It presupposes that people like what I mentioned in my comment earlier are to be loved. They may be hated or unloved as you pointed out, but they deserve to be loved. After all, I think everyone of us is unlovable.
