Love

[BreakBone2BreakBond]

Let me know what you guys think of this analogy... Do subscription services like Netflix, Disney, Spotify, Amazon etc show a more perfect form of love in it's contract with it's customers WHEN it allows them to cancel their subscription at any time with no answers demanded (they usually make that optional iirc) than Our families, friends, community, government and God does WHEN the aforementioned Beings keep us yoked to existence, keep us yoked to a slave contract we never signed up for and have (especially in the case of the biblical God who will give us a heavenly or hellish afterlife) left us with no escape clause......does this analogy fall flat on its face because Netflix, Disney, Spotify, Amazon etc are made up of real people that would call the authorities in a heartbeat to have you sectioned if they knew you were suicidal.... So should I instead say that our family, friends community, govt and God should recognise in their relationship with us similar terms to those subscription services..... I feel more warmth and love from subscription services THAN I do from the idea of a God that won't let me return to nothingness or my friends that aren't around enough (whilst new comforting content is Always there for me on subscription services) or my family that wants to section me....thoughts?

Definitely. I see life as a corrupt subscription service that our parents signed us up for. Probably not fully considering what would happen if we didn't like the content on offer. That their genes, geographic location and financial situation would govern what we had access to. That the cost would increase exponentially. That we may feel obliged to try to afford their subscription cost as well as our own later in life. And that- as you pointed out- the get-out clauses placed on us by them and everyone else are utterly unreasonable. Life is a conscripted subsciption service with (debatably) very poor terms of use in my view.
