Handling Love

Published 07 April 07 06:25 PM | Leona 

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 else 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.

How you deal with love is how you deal with you, and all our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even if our lives and ways are different.

If you fall in love with another, and she falls in love with you, and then love choose to leave, do not try to reclaim it or to assess blame, let it go. There is a reason and there is a 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.

Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you

Give it to others who deem it poor in spirit.

Give it to the workd around you in anyway you can.

This is where many lovers go wrong. Having been so long without love, they understand love only as a need. They see their hearts as empty places that will be filled by love, and they begin to look at loves as something that flows to them rather than from them.

 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 seeks love. They forget that the secret of love is that it is a gift, and that it cand be make to grow only by giving it away.

Remember this, and keep it to your heart. Love has its own time, its own seasons, and its own reason for coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it , or reason it into saying. You can only embarace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you.

But if it chooses to leave from your heart of from the heart of your lover, there is nothing you cand do and there is nothing you should do. Love always has been and always will be a mystery.

Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life.

Don't deny love just only you don't want to be hurt ....

Nice but far too optimistic.

Reality is not like this. It would have been too... alright to be.

The heart of man, woman is unsettled and this begs the question: is love forever?

If love is not forever, how can it be handled?

If love is forever, how can 'forever' be handled?

And if love puts you into a 'nothing to be done' situation, how is that to be handled?

When you can do nothing, what can you do?

The article is a nice try nevertheless. It almost made me smile, which is less than usual for me.

For this reason, I would have voted for a high score. But since I don't have the habit of voting blogs I will have to pass.

We need to break down the word LOVE. William Webster dictionary suggests it is the strong affection felt for another arising out of kinship or personal ties ;  attraction based on sexual desire : affection and tenderness felt by lovers ; affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests.  

Can someone break it down for me?
