Cutting out the middle man in social networks

the social middle man is undobtably love.
love is narrow schisophrenic and of no use.
When you look at a successful couple it's the compassion that keeps them going.
There love is of near non exsistance but they can still be of a very sexual nature to each other with greate compassion.
Compassion allows the mind to see and feel with all understanding.
Love is fear ridden and usless and is the base of control.
Compassion is of workng with the natural makeup.
Love is hiding away from it.
love swings blocking out our mind.
compassion gives you understanding and reaches far beyond the social ignorance of gender.
Theres loads that social networks can do now to premote compassion whereas with love you'll end up all trying to get a peice of the pie.
