[Tuesday] Discussion: Love

Join our discord: https://discord.gg/sXmd8MRvmr

Love is a concept that spans romance, family, friendship, and even self-acceptance. It can be expressed as an emotion, a choice, or an action, and it often shapes the way we connect with others and ourselves. Philosophers, poets, and scientists alike have tried to define it, but its meaning remains deeply personal.

1. How do you personally define “love”?
2. Do you believe love is more of a feeling, a decision, or a practice?
3. What role does vulnerability play in love?
4. How do you distinguish between love and attachment?
5. In what ways do you think love changes over time in long-term relationships?
6. How does cultural background influence how people express or interpret love?
7. Do you think self-love is a prerequisite for loving others? Why or why not?
8. What’s the difference between romantic love and deep friendship?
9. Can love exist without reciprocity, or does it always require mutuality?
10. How do you balance love with personal independence?
11. Is forgiveness essential in love?
12. How do acts of service, words, or physical affection differently convey love?
13. Do you think love is universal across all humans, or does it manifest uniquely in each person?

These are just some of the questions we will discuss during our meetup. No preparation needed, just bring yourself and a willingness to listen and share your thoughts.

The meetup will be structured in a way to promote small group discussion so everyone has a chance to listen, be heard, and really dive into the discussion.

Due to the increased group size, we're making a few changes to how our discussions will be structured.

We'll arrange tables of 6 participants each, without a moderator. When you arrive, please gather at the front near the escalator. Once enough people are assembled, I'll escort each group of 6 to their table to begin the discussion, and continue doing this as more participants arrive.

Each table will receive a sheet containing the topic description and discussion questions. Feel free to take a photo or refer to the event page to have your own copy handy.

The official event time is from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, but some of us stay longer, transitioning into informal conversations beyond the topic. You're welcome to join any other ongoing discussions once your initial group wraps up and members start leaving.

Please do not go directly to a table upon arrival; instead, wait at the front area by the escalator. This approach will help us manage seating smoothly and ensure everyone enjoys an organized and engaging discussion experience.
