Had an interesting conversation with a
friend. She kept talking about how "true love" was rare and hard to
find, and it left me wondering what "true love" actually is...
I feel "true love" is a
rather unrealistic goal in the sense most people take it to be. It is somehow
all-consuming and seems to imply that you make ONE person the sole center of
your life. Not only is that not possible, it's not healthy. We need
"people", not "a person", to be complete.
True love is about becoming pure and
one with existence and finding love within yourself, not outside of yourself.
Most people are selfish. Love is
selfless and unconditional. Majority of women would NOT love a man without a
job. I often hear men saying they prefer slim good looking women. People put
'conditions' on others and don’t realize that as soon as you have a 'type', you
are not open to love. When you throw away your 'list' of standards
and qualifications, then you are open to love, and unless you find someone who
has also thrown away their 'lists' and pre-conceived notions of love..love will
never happen.
