I have to say that this is probably the most intense feeling of oneness that i have ever experienced in the comparisons of our views of life. oh indeed it is so true that if only people learnt how to trully love there would be so much more peace.
But then again why dwell on the “what ifs” it is still better that we continue to love without demands and continue to spread happiness without a fee. why charge a fee for something that you already have in abundance and is yours for the giving?

Love essentially gives us life. So loving people unconditionally gives us life; that I perfectly agree with. But I still think the need to note that when the love we show to others are appreciated in anyway, it gives more vigor to our life than when it is not. For as love gives life; hate somehow gives death.
Thanks once again for your write up, I’m wiser.

I was married for 19 years and 39 years old ,it was an arranged marriage .He told me he loved me in weeks of our marriage .It took me a year or more to say the words I Love you .The difference in loving the person whom has been chosen for you is that it is a conditional Love .First Condition is your already married to them .However falling in love and choosing to love a person ,taking small steps towards love ,loving the person’s insides is beautiful and knowing love is free is amazing.I have fallen in Love with the same person twice . I fell in love with my first love ,then got arranged to marry the man i was married to for 19 years ,he let me down time and time again under the name of love .Only after divorce to find my first love again .Our love is free and beautiful ………..again and hasn’t changed, I love him sooo much

I agree with you Daniel,I find the idea of loving in a relationship something to explore because if we are happy with ourselves why be in a relationship.if we are not spontaneous with our ups and downs then we will pretend ,and become resentful.somehow one will be happy in this relationship the one imposing the rule of peace.now relationships can be worked out if partners are willing to do so,yet our emotional growth happened in different ways.basically in a relationship a woman wants to be reassured by a father figure in moments of insecurities and a man wants to be nurtured by a mother figure in moments of insecurity and both are strong or weak in different times ,we cannot define how those insecurities are going to manifest themselves but we always remember how we have been reassured and loved so it is a give and take not being unconditional giver
