Talking about love as in being the meaning of life, since time and the universe began

It was all created because of ‘‘love’’

Big time

Love is my religion

"To “Love Your Enemy” is to find it in your heart to put aside any wrongs, and to love them as a fellow human being. You don't have to love them like you love your parents or children or best friend. ... Picture the person you dislike most, and see if it's easy to find that love for them."

heart beating

That is one of the stages in Buddhist loving kindness (Metta Bhavana) meditation.
One part of it is as follows....

"Now move to someone you have difficulty with--hostile feelings, resentments. Repeat the phrases for this person. If you have difficulty doing this, you can say before the phrases, "To the best of my ability I wish that you be...." If you begin to feel ill will toward this person, return to the benefactor and let the loving kindness arise again. Then return to this person.

Let the phrases spread through your whole body, mind, and heart."

For instructions on the full loving kindness meditation......

The good thing about this meditation is it's available to all, regardless of their spiritual or religious belief, or even the lack of it.....

"Metta bhavana, or loving-kindness meditation, is a method of developing compassion. It comes from the Buddhist tradition, but it can be adapted and practiced by anyone, regardless of religious affiliation; loving-kindness meditation is essentially about cultivating love."

It's a good one to pass round Bod, anything to promote loving-kindness is grand in my book.. handshake

I have very strong love for my parents siblings Neices and Nephews.
I know this to be unconditional love...its just there and no amount of destruction will break it (for me)

Love in relationships I struggle with
I have had 3 serious relationships in my time.
I still think on the very very odd occasion about them...if something triggers a memory for instance.
I don't love nor am in love with any of them anymore...but there's a part of me that will still care and be affected if I heard anything happened them

But as for being in love....I still don't know what that is or if I've ever actually been in love...I'm still getting to a place to be in love with myself...I think that's a road we are all on...but in love for another I just can't describe what that's meant to feel like if I even know.

Some might say being 'in love' is just a form of transient psychosis.

Being able to choose the people who will be in your life changes the geography of human relationship. (You can’t choose family, ie...)

I think the problem with most is that they think love is a destination, when in fact it is right there within their own being..heart beating

There’s a saying that goes along the lines of it being incredulous to believe a moment’s passion can somehow endure forever...I googled it seven ways but couldn’t find the exact quote. Btw—why the “thumbs-down on my comment regarding choosing friends? What is there to disagree about? dunno
