Using A Kid's First Kiss to Prove the Obsoleteness of the Symbolism of Being in a Relationship


Above is the video of a kid's first kiss. Apart from all the cuteness of 'the first kiss' I think the kids' sincerity and innocence can provide a helpful insight into the 'matters of the heart'.

The boy asks the girl how come she kissed him and she says because she likes her.

I doubt she's lying, she hugs him and all.

He says he likes her too. I don't think he lies either.

I will continue to argue that humans continue to make their lives more complicated by making up meaning behind something that has no inherent meaning.

The kids kiss because they see a relationship between those actions and their feelings. Actions should be the only way to express feelings. You tell the other person how you feel. You sock someone in the face if you're angry at them. You kiss someone when you like them.

Establishing something outside of one's actions [A RELATIONSHIP] is an unnecessary ordeal that will change 'the way things are'. There will be a 'before' and an 'after' and things probably won't be the same.

Kissing feels good, so that's why ______ do(es) it.

________ likes _________ so he kisses him/her.

That makes sense.

"_______ is ________'s boyfriend/girlfriend" tells me nothing about them or their relationship or how they feel about one another. Not today. Not today.

But seeing them kiss would let me know that they like each other, or at least like kissing each other.

Yeah.

    i think commitment, in the case of relationships and also other things like saying "i'm vegan" or "i'm a feminist"
    can be limiting but
    also
    sometimes it seems practically beneficial
    because feelings fluctuate so much over time and depending on mood.
    i think it's just part of the mess of lief
    that people will feel the need to commit to abstract
    labels and relationships
    and it has downsides but it's hard to avoid and also has upsides imo
