Lemme tell you what is at the root of love: Platonic Form. This is why people kill for brands.
Of course there’s something deeper than this that I cannot describe. But yeah, people are ‘obsessed’ with forms; and they do not even realise the link to Tradition. Except intellectuals and artists, they realise it a bit more. But most people fall in love with forms. That’s why 50%+ of marriages end in divorce; the man doesn’t match the liberated woman’s ideal image of form anymore. Speaking of Mao, he said disorder under heaven was excellent (for re-organisation), while Evola said form is the only salvation against chaos. I’ve been increasingly finding out what Evola meant. Form is also related to the Red Pill concept of Frame. And thus we’re back to the woman leaving the guy over him losing his frame/form. Or she saw someone who manifested her ideal form better and did branch swinging. Loving form is in our nature. That’s why kids like knight armor, military uni-form, jet fighters, castles. Humans love form. Christ represented something deeper than that. But so did the Tao.
