What About Love?

Every once in a while, we all come across someone elses words which are well worth pondering further on our own.  I came across such a passage today when browsing through an old literary magazine. I found these words to be quite thought provoking and thought you might like to ponder on them, too ~

"In our society, we've become myopic and obsessive with one particular kind of love: dyadic love, which takes the form of romance, sex, marriage.  As a result we end up asking all the wrong questions.  Books about relationships talk about how to "get" the love you need, how to "keep" love, and so on.  But the right question to ask is, "How do I become a more loving human being?"  When you ask that question it changes the way you think about pursuing love, making it much more complex."

    ~ Sam Keene

There truly is much depth and beauty to be found and shared in romance, sex, and marriage with a loving and devoted partner, but all the above is all the better if one considers and puts into practice how to become a more loving human being on a continual, ever evolving basis.  If you've found the love of your life, your soul mate, and best friend, giving your relationship the best of yourself helps love grow and keeps it and vital and alive.  Giving the world your most loving self makes the world a little brighter and gentler for everyone ... we can plant seeds of love everyday.
