“She felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that she did not know where he ended and she began.” -Leo Tolstoy.

I agree that most of the things that are said about love are true. Whether by writer or doctor, artist or lawyer, loved or not… Everything is true; at least for someone.

After all, we all have different perspectives and beliefs.

When it comes to love there is no exception, if anything; love is the only thing that is as vast as the world itself, like the ocean and the air, the atmosphere and beyond.

But what causes love? Does the cause-effect phenomenon also apply? Could it be that love is the cause of love itself?

But then, there is no point in trying to detect which is the cause and which is the effect, since you cannot know when or where one begins and ends. There’s no point in trying to figure out how to find it if that’s what you have.

If you give it, it’s because you have it.

But do you have it because you give it… or do you give it because you have it?

Maybe that’s the magic of love. It’s endless.

It is like the sea that stretches over the horizon. The water merges with the sky at sunrise and sunset. You cannot know for sure where the water ends and the sky begins. The sun is the only factor that can tell you where you are standing, at sunset or at sunrise.

“We imagine love in the shape of the heart because we do not know the shape of the soul.” -Roberto Brault.

True or false?

I choose true.

How is a soul? Do you have a form, for example? And the heart? Who says that love comes from the heart? And who says that the mind is in the brain? science no. Aren’t people always complaining about whatever science doesn’t say isn’t true?

Nerve impulses come from the brain, and blood comes from the heart, we are sure of that. But love? Where do the feelings come from?

I guess imagining love as a heart is the closest we can get to giving it shape.

But what if it came from all of us? What if she was in every part of our being, of our body, in every cell? What if it were the same with our mind and with our soul? Or better yet, what if all those things expanded even beyond our bodies, and if they were limitless and endless?

And yes?

And then I wonder, why do human beings always need to shape things? To give them a form that we can understand?

One thing is clear to me.

We are terribly afraid of even getting the idea of ​​something we don’t understand, something formless, something we have yet to learn, something we don’t really know the answer to and that we choose to give those unknown things some form. that we can relate to the way we see the world. And yet, giving something a particular shape won’t always make us understand it and that’s where fear comes in and fear leads to hate, most of the time.

Maybe that’s why we need to have an explanation for everything.

Maybe that’s why we shape love. And God. and evil. And, truth be told, every little thing that comes into our lives that we don’t understand.

We just always have to explain everything, right?

And again I prove the point that men fear what they do not understand.

We always have, I just hope we won’t always.

I wonder what happens when someone intrepid shows up. Maybe they understood it better. Maybe they are the ones who come to understand life in the end and live it fully.

But then again, you really don’t have to be fearless. You just have to be brave.

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but the judgment that something else is more important than fear.” -Ambrose Redmoon.

I think we should all remember that the next time we’re afraid of something, and for most people, that’s every day.

But being afraid doesn’t mean we’re not brave.

I believe that each one of us decides who he wants to be, the hero or the coward.

Like everything in life, it is our choice.

“A bell is not a bell until you ring it,

A song ain’t a song until you sing it

and love in your heart

It wasn’t put there to stay

love is not love

Until you give it away.

-Oscar Hammerstein, Sound of Music, “You’re Sixteen (Reprise)”

TRUE.

What can you do with love if you have it but give it away? If you make your heart a cage for love to stay in, it will only fade away. But if you set it free to fly and be, it will always come back to you, stronger and more beautiful.

If you don’t believe it… try it.

See for yourself… But there is a little trick… the secret of life.

Turns out 20/20 vision isn’t that useful, so I’ve heard and learned…

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; only with the heart can one see well, the essential is invisible to the eye.” -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

That I know to be true.

When have your eyes warned you to fall? Perhaps many times but… When have your eyes warned you, prevented you from falling in love?

Your eyes can tell you: Hey, watch out! There’s a hole in the floor! You do not have to do it!

But I’ve never met someone whose eyes can really say, Hey, buddy! Be careful! There’s love! Stay away or you will fall very hard!

No. In any case, you might think that it is not a good idea. Maybe because you’ve been hurt before so you’re really trying to take more precautions from now on. Maybe you actually think it’s better to close off every part of yourself from other people, including your heart, especially your heart, so you don’t feel pain.

But then, you will surely miss out on a lot of things in life because believe it or not, your eyes cannot be right about what they are seeing as they only see the surface.

It’s like the ocean, again. You can see the surface. You can see the water and the waves. You can avoid getting hit by the waves if you don’t get too close. You can sigh at the wonderful sight of the dark water that shines with the reflection of the silver moon at night and marvel at the beautiful colors the water takes on when the sun sets or rises. It’s true.

You can see many wonders and avoid many dangers by keeping a safe distance from the ocean. But if so, you’ll never really know what’s going on below the surface, where it matters most. How does life go down there? What moves and what shakes? What magnificent sights and experiences may be waiting for you underwater? You can’t know unless you dive.

It’s the same with love and we are curious enough to dive in. I promise that. At least from time to time.

“You don’t have to go looking for love when that’s where you came from.”

-Werner Erhard.

Exactly. That is. You come from love, believe it or not. But can I tell you something? You live happily believing that you do.

And everything you believe in will come true.

If you believe it from start to finish, it will come true. At least for you.

And really, who else do you need to believe it?

“We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.” -Tom Robbins.

TRUE.

The only thing that everyone can see, the only thing that is clear in everyone’s eyes, is that everyone is looking for love.

We all do it, at some point in our lives, at least once in every life.

But something is wrong because although everyone looks for it, it seems that nobody finds it. They look and look and look and then… They keep looking. Some think they’ve found it, but then they’re hurt because it turns out it really wasn’t what they thought it would be or should be. Some give up and decide they are better off alone. Some continue their endless search but are unfaithful. Others are faithful… So they keep searching and searching…

But do they find?

Peace comes from within. Don’t look for it without. -Buddha.

I think it’s the same with love.

Have you ever thought that the simple action of looking for love in your life implies that you don’t have it? Because if you already have something, why go looking for it? Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you changed things?

How would your life change if instead of thinking that you need to have something, do something or be with someone to be happy or loved… You started to think that first you have to be happy and loving and then everything else will fall apart? instead. What if you started with a state of being first? With something that comes from within us, instead of outside of us?

Wouldn’t it be so much easier if we believed that everything we need could be found within? Then we could stop looking for love because then we would know that we already have it.

The secret… The truth? The reason why it seems that love is running out on planet Earth? Is it because there are no decent men and women left on this planet anymore? Is it because no one is worth it? Is it true that trust is only for fools?

We all look for love, we all look for it…

Why is it so hard to find love?

And the truth is…

Being a seeker is not that useful.

Being a seeker is not the way, not the fastest anyway, and that’s for this simple reason…

Being a love seeker doesn’t help because EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR IT. EVERYONE.

Everyone is searching. So, as a result, there is no one left to find because they are looking too. Everyone is looking for it… there are so many looking for it! The world is crowded with seekers, crowded with people who believe they lack love in their lives because they can’t find it within; and since the world doesn’t need more of those…

So why not be the prize instead? The treasure? Love?

Why not be the one to find?

Don’t try to win the prize, BE the prize.

That is my answer. Be those who come to find, not those who come to seek. I know everything you want to find in another. Be loving, be kind, be brave, be fun and funny, be interesting, be generous, be happy, be love. Be the one who loves and you will be loved back.

If you don’t believe it… Try it.
