'Your' Love

The idea you have of love may be an obstacle to your happiness. How can this be? Your perception of love as mutual donation of affection, as a communion of souls is fine. The problem arises when you are convinced that without this kind of love you cannot be happy. 'Love' is wonderful, but insufficient to provide you with eternal bliss, because it is transient. Can you keep those wonderful feelings of devotion, selflessness, with neither judgement nor resentment...'all the time'? As long as “you and me”, “me and the others”, “I am right and you are wrong”, “You did this to me” etc… persist, your understanding of 'love' cannot give you (or anybody else) lasting happiness.
