Most of us are in love with the idea of love. I have a terrific blind spot when the phrase “falling in love” is voiced.
We need to “RISE in love”.
Love is a commitment to YOURSELF.
It is not an emotion that is given away easily and withdrawn as easily.
Our knowledge of anyone is
initially at best, superficial. Maybe, better in the years to come. But yet,
never complete because everyone changes and keeps changing, including us. The
same person you knew and developed feelings for is not that person today and
will not be tomorrow. And this applies to you and all of us as well.
Then how does a relationship
survive? On this very understanding. On acceptance of that change. On loving
the actual person WITH this constant change.
We must understand that each one
of us has different reactions to the same episode. And our psyche keeps
changing differently.
Depth comes into a relationship
only in time and with indulging the idiosyncrasies of each other and smiling at
them. Becoming each other’s best friends.
Provided we give it enough time
for a real friendship to develop.
