The question that Is love absurd poses is an elementary one. Can you love anyone who is there to love you unconditionally? it doesn't matter if that thing is machine or not.
i read about something similar in a comic book series-preacher created by writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon, published by the American comic book label Vertigo. this brilliant and thought provoking comic questions the creation and the will and idea of god behind creating man. the protagonist Jessi Custer questions a number of angels that meet him and even the god himself when he appears before him.why did he create man(though he knew that there will be a war between him and the angels due to this). What was that which led him to create someone that is free to love him, hate him and even question his existence. why did he chose man over the angels that followed him unconditionally? yes this word is the key. Unconditional. The god was fed up with all the unconditional love. he rejected it and instead wanted a free entity to love him. Receiving the love of someone free to hate him
appealed to his sensibilities more. he created miseries, deaths accidents so that he can test the love which mortals held for him. He soon grew bored when that love also become unwavering.
Then he created someone that was as powerful as him and wanted that thing to love him...
and you know what this ended into? it ended into the downfall of god. his death!
the point of writing this summary here is just to emphasize that lucky are those who are loved. And if that love is unconditional then that's good too, the least you can do is to appreciate that. what is forbidden is to question it to test it, or it would be the end of you. the end of that relationship.
