My friend
What do you think our blogger friends say about this?
Can happiness exist without love? Or can love exist without freedom?
It is said we exist for love and to love and we can only be happy loving
and being loved.
Truly love that is forced or that which arise from self-interest does not deserve the name.
True love, that is blessed loved only exist between two people when they freely surrender
themselves to each other.
Love is the condition of happiness. " man would not know how to live without love." says St. Catherine of Siena.
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides.
And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out
whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconcievable
that you should ever part. Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathless, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation
of promises of eternal passion. That is just being " in love" which any
of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over
when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate
accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew
towards each other underground,and when all the pretty
blossoms had fallen from our branches we found
that we were one tree and not two." St Augustine.
Life is about love.
Love you my friend.
