love sets you unfree

“Liebe macht unfrei» [„love sets you unfree"] is the title of an interview Peer Teuwsen made with Esther Vilar

|< German link: http://www.weltwoche.ch/artikel/?AssetID=18015&CategoryID=79 >

The idolatrous state of slavery produced by infatuation [= romantic love] is a one of Vilar’s important sub-themes within the central theme of freedom vs. slavery.  “Liebe macht immer unfrei. Das ist eine Religion mit der kleinstmöglichen Gemeinde. Gott und Anbeter im Verhältnis eins zu eins.” [„Love will always set you unfree. It is a religion with the smallest possible congregation.  God and Worshipper in a ratio of 1 to 1."]

Epicurus warned against this kind of slavery 2300 years ago already – for the vast majority in vain.

  "… As you say of yourself, I TOO AM AN EPICUREAN. I consider the genuine (not the imputed) doctrines of Epicurus as containing everything rational in moral philosophy which Greece and Rome have left us."
