Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance. Things omitted are often more deadly than errors committed. There is seemingly so little love shared in this world, it is not surprising that we ask, 'Where have all the lovers gone?' Since love is the most vital energy for good that is within our power to utilize, it is puzzling why we so seldom do so. Love is There are two big forces at work, external and internal. We have very little control over external forces such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain. What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond to those disasters? It is difficult for some people to accept that love is a choice. This seems to run counter to the generally accepted theory of romantic love which expounds that love is inborn and as such requires no more than to accept it. The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position. What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life. No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch. Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don't over-analyse your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness. Most of us are pawns in a game of love we don't understand. |
