Rather, I exhort you to love another human being. It may seem odd for me to tell you this. You may expect it to happen naturally, without deliberation. That is false. Modern society is anti-love. We’ve taken a microscope to everyone to bring out their flaws and shortcomings. It far easier to find a reason not to love someone, than otherwise. Rejection requires only one reason. Love requires complete acceptance. It is hard work – the only kind of work that I find palatable.
Loving someone has great benefits. There is admiration, learning, attraction and something which, for the want of a better word, we call happiness. In loving someone, we become inspired to better ourselves in every way. We learn the truth worthlessness of material things. We celebrate being human. Loving is good for the soul.
Isto é tão bom que tinha que ser partilhado. Obrigada ao amigo Gustavo 😉
É mesmo bom. Obrigada.
Er… eu precisava era de ter lido isto há meia dúzia de anos atrás, quando fiz tudo ao contrário. 🙁 Mas, lá está, sempre a aprender.
Agradece ao Gustavo 😉 bjinhos
Nós nunca fazemos tudo ao contrário. Mais tarde ou mais cedo vais ver que aqueles "gut feelings" estavam certos.
