Romantic Love

Have you ever wondered about what romantic love actually is, how it happens, why it happens, and if you have any control over it? Author A. de Mello says that what you usually consider love is only dependence, i.e. you need the other to fulfill whatever you believe you are lacking (caring, attention, support, inner strength etc…). Or – the other side of the coin – you have a need to control, to be "in charge", to "own" the other in order to feel powerful. You should examine yourself from this perspective. There are so many facets to your personality that it will take a lifetime to check them all (if you can ever succeed!). But… isn’t it worth it trying to understand yourself better, in order to re-adjust your life (when and where needed), so as to lead a more aware and happier existence?
