Platonic Love

I will disagree. Anywhere where there is suppression of a certain thing, that thing will just explode, and it will happen, but it will happen underground. If for example, in our desi culture, it’s in a way forbidden to have a friend of the opposite gender, so when you meet a guy/girl, you don’t automatically see them as a friend. You see them as potential. Switch to a society where it’s alright to be friends with the person of the opposite gender, when two people meet, they don’t necessarily meet each otehr with the desire to bed them right away. In such a place, platonic love is more possible.

we have temptations all around us, do we give in every time? although i understand what you’re saying that sometimes the forbidden attraction for the other might be very strong but it’s like chocolate to a diabetic.

we see all those potential conflicts dangling in front of our eyes that make that initial attraction die out and see that it’s just not worth it…atleast that’s the case with some or maybe most people.

i think it’s more like easing into love rather than falling face down in love. even without that attraction, worrying, caring, respecting the person, having that strong platonic bond can very much exist
