Limerence is a psychological state of deep infatuation toward a particular object of attention and affection. In this state, a person thinks and acts without clear logic or common sense because emotions become too intense. One becomes emotionally subjective. Decisions and actions are driven by emotional impulses and sudden emotional highs, rather than by proper reasoning and objective facts.

A limerent person often enjoys his decisions and actions—whatever they may be—because, for him, limerence itself feels like a satisfying reality. The fantasy he lives in becomes “real enough,” even if it is disconnected from truth.

For Black Scholar, the antidote to limerence is a deliberate return to objectivity, logic, and facts—what he calls Lexis Light. It is the recognition that moral absolutes and truth exist beyond personal feelings.

Nevertheless, Black Scholar understands how difficult this return can be. A limerent person struggles to see or appreciate objective facts because he is deeply in love with his own subjectivity and self-fabricated reality—a condition known as moral relativity.
