Real love pours itself out upon the object of its affection, without demanding any return. -- Florence Scovel Shinn
Loving another wholly, purely, with no strings attached promises ecstasy, and yet seldom do we dare chance it. Often we want the promise of love in return if we're to offer it. Our fragile egos are held tentatively intact by the slim gestures and fleeting words of love tossed our way. But when we bargain for love, we don't find it.
Real love will forever elude us unless we put our own selves aside and unabashedly love the self of someone else.
Freely spreading the warm glow of love to others magically invites its return - another of life's mysteries.
Good Evening HJ, Where is this real love? Lurking in the shadows of my mind for what I perceive it to be.
A quote: To reach for another is to risk involvement. To expose your feelings is to expose your true self. To love is to risk not being loved in return.
Am I ready for that? Has happened once, not sure if I am ready for my love not to be returned again.
