Some Thoughts About Love

Last Sunday I found some free time on my hands, so I had the chance to clean some of my things. As I was going through some of my topsy-turvy stuff I came across this folded piece of paper…one of the many crumpled pieces that I just toss into my drawer for future use…As I read it, I recalled that it was something that I copied from a forwarded email long ago. The content struck a chord within me that is why I copied it then. Just read on. Maybe you can relate to it too.


- If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you, be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn’t choose to rest in the other person’s heart.
- If you find someone to be in love with you and you don’t love him/her feel honored that love came and called at your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return. Do not take advantage, do not cause pain.
- If you fall in love with another and he/she falls in love with you and then love chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it or to assess blame. Let it go. There is a reason and there is meaning. You will know in time.
- Remember that you don’t choose love, love chooses you. All you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach out and give it away…
- How you deal with love is how you deal with yourself and all our hearts feel the same pains and joys as you even if our lives and ways are different.
- The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing but as their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as need. They cease to be someone who generates love and instead become someone who takes love.
