Love…really?

 Real love is challenging.
It is more than
not wanting something in return.

 It is more than
spiritual sugar,
temporarily sweetening a situation.

 Love is feeling
how another feels,
and empathising.

 Love is
others first, you last.
That is love.

 Tough isn’t it?
Love…
…really!

 We talk about love and non-attachment – it makes us feel good. But when it comes down to it, we still hold back. We have to recognise this holding back and admit it. Even though we are attacked by guilt, pride, jealousy, fear, desire and ignorance we still try, then that is love.

 Until we see through our silly emotions
we will never know love or enlightenment.
