Am I allowed to find Dawn attractive?
...and she's real.
Unfortunately, she is as unreachable to me as these fictional piece of ink and animation are.
Alas, fellow Bulbagardeners, even the darkest hearts such as myself ultimately long for compansionship of someone! Let this be a lesson to you all, that even the coldest heart of ice can be penetrated by the burning of a wonderful women. And alas, fellows, for some that burning sensation will come from a character with no will of their own and whose entire life is dictated by a board of likely 4-5 middle aged Japanese storyboard artists and script writers, given life by the likes of Kinoshita and Iwante, and ultimately voiced by some obnoxious Japanese women who has some overly cute name or spells everything out in CAPITALS and occasionaly taunts the fanbase of the character she plays with crpytic blog posts that are blown out of proportion from online watchers whose copy does not include the live action trivia segment which is what said voice actor was referring to. In the 4th century BC, the Greek philosopher Plato argues that love, in a way, directs the bonds of human society. In his Symposium, Eryximachus, one of the narrators in the dialog, states that love goes far beyond simple attraction to human beauty: It occurs all throughout the animal and plant kingdoms, as well as all throughout the universe. Love directs everything that occurs, in the realm of the gods as well as that of humans (186a-b).
Eyrximachus reasons that when various opposing elements such as wet and dry are "animated by the proper species of Love, they are in harmony with one another . . . But when the sort of Love that is crude and impulsive controls the seasons, he brings death and destruction" (188a). As it is love that guides the relations between these sets of opposites throughout existence, in every case it is the higher form of love that brings harmony and cleaves toward the good, while the impulsive vulgar love creates disharmony.
He concludes that the highest form of love is the greatest; when love "is directed, in temperance and justice, towards the good, whether in heaven or on earth: happiness and good fortune, the bonds of human society, concord with the gods above- all these are among his gifts" (188d).

In the 1660s, the Dutch philosopher Spinoza writes, in his Ethics of Human Bondage or the Strength of the Emotions, that the term “bondage” relates to the human infirmity in moderating and checking the emotions. That is, according to Spinoza ‘when a man is prey to his emotions, he is not his own master, but lies at the mercy of fortune.’
In 1809 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, in his classic novella Elective Affinities, speaks of the marriage tie and by analogy shows how strong marriage unions are similar in character to that by which the particles of quicksilver find a unity together though the process of chemical affinity. Goethe’s novella, in its time, was regarded as treatise on chemical origins of love. Humans in passionate relationships, according to Goethe, are analogous to reactive substances in a chemical equation.
