THE UNFORMED NATURE OF THIS PARTICULAR THOUGHT

“It’s not sexuality that has to be liberated. It’s love.” - Slavov Žižek

Slavov talks about the ruinous nature of Eros, or “erotic love”. Versus Agape, communal (group)love.

He describes eros as being “not a great thing,” because it is seen as a positive force. Sans consequence of psychoanalytic influence. Essentially because people are often unaware of what they desire, so they revert to the idea of passionate love, without acknowledging its pitfalls.

NOTE:

I am keeping in my mind the un-formed nature of this particular thought:

This idea of Slavov’s that “the only ultimate proof of love is betrayal” intrigues me. Why? What does that mean?
