For those that bring themselves above the "FEAR" of love, it possibly would be beneficial to read something written by a Fr. Anthony DeMello.wink






"The Way To Love" contains the final flowering of Anthony de Mello's thought, and in it he grapples with the ultimate question of love. In thirty-one meditations, he implores his readers with his usual pithiness to break through illusion, the great obstacle to love. "Love springs from awareness, " de Mello insists, saying that it is only when we see others as they are that we can begin to really love. But not only must we seek to see others with clarity, we must examine ourselves without misconception. The task, however, is not easy. "The most painful act, " de Mello says, "is the act of seeing. But in that act of seeing that love is born." Anthony De Mello was the director of the Sadhana Institute of Pastoral Counseling in Poona, India, and authored several books. "The Way To Love" is his last.


Honestly, how many have achieved "awareness"?

Lack of oxygen to the brain! laugh

When you find someone who "completes you"...not who will MAKE you happy but someone who enhances the happiness you have already found within yourself. A partner and a friend. teddy bear

What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more. LOL





Love means many different things to everyone. I like the way the Bible describes love.


*******************************************************
LOVE 1 Corinthians 13

1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

******************************************************

Regardless if you believe, you have to admit, that is pretty darn sweet and seems almost inarguable.

[love is all those things except imaginary,itis real,it is honesty ,being faithful.with your self and partner,its a gift sent down upon you from heaven.it only comes to a person once or twice in a lifetime,it is also waiting patiently.the true love is is from above that never leaves a person it is always with in,some people just needs to open up and let it flow as a river,for that never stops flowing.
