We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us. When people get married because they think it's a long-time love affair, they'll be divorced very soon, because all love affairs end in disappointment. But marriage is a recognition of a spiritual identity. When we talk about settling the world's problems, we're barking up the wrong tree. The world is perfect. It's a mess. It has always been a mess. We are not going to change it. Our job is to straighten out our own lives. When you make the sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship. Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths. Love is a friendship set to music. |
