Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life. The hardest battle you’re ever going to fight is the battle to be just you. A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself -- to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart. If we wish to free ourselves from enslavement, we must choose freedom and the responsibility this entails. If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance. I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, No, I won't do it, I won't behave his way anymore. I'm lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving and then you do it Happiness and love are just a choice away. Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade. Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time. Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong. |
