Where Does Love Come From?
Love is understanding the nature of reality, which is pure consciousness, innate in all sentient beings. It doesn’t come from an external source, but is ever-present within our confusion. Love is practical, with the intention to benefit others, and does not expect anything in return.
Love isn’t, “Let’s all be nice in our confusion.”
It’s interesting how the word ‘nice’ has changed its meaning!
Nice: Middle English; stupid. From Latin nescius ‘ignorant’, from nescire ‘not know’. Other early senses include ‘coy’ and ‘reserved’, giving rise to ‘fastidious’, ‘scrupulous’, which led to the sense of ‘fine’, ‘subtle’. Now used as ‘Let’s be pleasant’.
Love is challenging when there is no meeting of minds.
Wisdom is knowing that all sentient beings
are a commonality of timeless pure consciousness,
which will be realised when they’ve had enough of being nice. 😀
