Regarding relationships, what are the implications of the concept of self?<br><br>In philosophy, is the concept of non-self (anatman) ever juxtaposed with philosophies relating to relationships, romantic love, and love?<br><br>Either the self exists or it doesn't. If it doesn't exist, do all romantic relationships eventually have to end? Without a self, relationships are just moments of human connection in the universe, so they can only be transitory and not truly personal because there's no actual, permanent self. This sounds like a pretty bleak view of human relationships in my opinion.
