So I have been thinking of this love thing. For me it is easier to love than it is to be loved. However I have been told we cannot truly love unless we can be loved and love ourselves. What do you think?
This I can relate to. I think I believe that you can, in the end, only love someone else to the depth that you love yourself. Even though it is more apparent how hard we are on ourselves. What do you think of that? It seems to me that every experience that we draw in, and every person we come in contact with gives us another opportunity to love ourselves more, and in turn love others more. Or experience more love.
I love that. What interested me this Sunday was when the teacher brought up Benson's talk on pride, mentioned it was basically the root of the destruction of civiizations, and then someone asked what the antedote was. He didn't say humility. He said "Well, if the root of pride is emnity, and the root of emnity is hate, then I guess the answer is 'love'."
Whenever someone poses what they think is the rhetorical question "What is the meaning of life?!" I always think "love." Here to learn how to do it so well that someday, with the gift of grace, we become it.
