The meaning of life is "to love" is an ideology that did not come about until the Victorian Times. At least, I I think. If not, then somewhere around that time period. Prior to that period - the meaning / end all, to what life was worth - living consisted of different subjects. such as filiel piety during Confucious times. Many have ascertained that the age of love is approaching its decline with the onset and aftermath of the sixties, where it gave way to lust, and later, the seventies punk movement. The Buzzcocks sang: "There is no love in this world anymore." Talking Heads: "What does it take to fall in love. I don't think I'll ever fall in love" The fact the we have fake "reality shows" like Joe Millionaire and Baherlette further point to the direction that we are not a society that values love as so much, but that we are reminsicent of the Age of Love. Why did everone groam when the baherlette choose the poet? Because the poet sucked, and because the poet of love died out a long fucking time ago.

Conservatives like to point out (because they are stupid and backwards) that the sixties "do what you lust movement" killed the moralily of America. The conservatives are right. But they're sixty years behind the times. Love - as an end all - died a long time before that. The sixties were simply the aftermath of the death of "Loveage." And has much more to do with Darwin, then Timothy Leary. The crux of American Relativism came 80 years prior to a bunch of hippies dancing naked in the mudd of Woodstock.
