Genuine love
Reflection helps us to see the fallacy of possessive love. There are only 2 things we can possess. One is objects the other that which is within. We can possess a sense of inner calm, serenity, tranquility. We can be master of our attitudes, feelings, emotions. The choice is ours. Genuine love involves an attitude of non possessiveness, of stewardship, not ownership. It consists of a deep care and concern for the fullest possible growth and developement of others rather and seeking to control, dominate and have them for one's own. Love cannot be coerced. A person cannot force another to love him. Love cannot be compelled or commanded. It must be given volutarily or it is not love. True love exists only when one gives oneself to another freely and not fearfully. Love is the result of a mutual relationship; otherwise it is not love. Often we hear it asked, '' How can I make him, her, or them love me? '' The answer is that we can't. There is only one thing we can make, or remake, and that is ourselves. Our love will be returned only if we are worthy of the love of others. Such a truth is stringkingly simple but often overlooked. We are loved only if and when we try to make ourselves worthy of love. Can we expect others to love us when we do not make such an attempt ? Genuine love is love which is given unconditionally without strings attached. One can hope to be loved only if he tries to make himself worthy of another's love and if he does things which may evoke a response of love from another. No manipulation or exploitation in genuine love. He who has such love does not use the loved one for his own ends. One of the most basic differentiations we can make is the mean- ends love. Love must be generous at the same time discerning. From English Compre. First time I do homework so fascinated. Wahahahszxszx. Going off to meet Honey. Perhaps Korean dinner with family, not sure. Happy happy happy. :D Byeee i guess i don't deserve love. :) |
