Love and (Asymptotes)

The Calculus of Love

Love is one of those things that lots of people try to define, and lots of people fail. There isn’t any point in me trying to define something such as love, because I believe it is like infinity- indeterminate. Imagine a function where each x value represents some sort of word, well when you hit certain words, you either have an asymptote, a hole or the derivative is a vertical line, so it can’t be defined. Things like infinity, life, love and all those cool words. So the point is, I’m not wasting my time trying to differentiate the definition of an asymptote, it Does Not Exist. But I think I’ve found the solution for Love, at least for me. I suppose if I’ve found the definition of love for my function, then everyone must have their own function, which are all the same type- with different stretches and translations to them, but all with certain defining characteristics.

But then again it is entirely possible that love is still an asymptote, its like faith, you can’t put a mathematical value to it, but you know its there (at least I do). Anyways, I found the answer in Joel Houston and his awesome song (the guy should be a mathematician cause he’s such a musical genius; isn’t there some correlation between those two somewhere? And he’s blond. So obviously he’s special:)

Anyways, to the genius’ genius lyrics:

And I don't need to see it to believe it
I don't need to see it to believe it
Cause I can't shake this
Fire deep inside my heart

This life is Yours and hope is rising
As Your glory floods our hearts
Let love tear down these walls
That all creation would
Come back to You
It's all for You

What’s it like to give everything you have to someone and let them rule your life? That’s submission, so people do it out of fear, or love. At least I believe that if there was to be actual submission, you wouldn’t do it out of fear- because then you’d be happy to leave if you wanted to. With love, when you give it away, it wasn’t torn from your hands, slowly wrenched away from each finger, it was simply taken as a gift. The point is maybe humans can’t define love, but obviously God can. So it’s entirely possible that if God had his own function (God can totally do math, He’s awesome like that), he wouldn’t have an asymptote for love, or for anything- cause he can define everything. Then his function would be of higher degree that ours…
