"Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but
looking together in the same direction," said the French novelist Antoine de
Saint-Exupery.
You don�t choose love; love chooses you... All you can
really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life.
Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach out and give it away.
Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you.
Give it to others who deem it poor in spirit. Give it to the world around
you in anyway you can. This is where normally we go wrong. Having been so
long without love, we have forgotten the real meaning of love and we fail to
understand the beauty of love. We understand love only as a need. We see our
hearts as empty places that will be filled by love, and we begin to look at
love as something that flows to us rather than something that flows from us.
It is very unfortunate that we cease to be someone who generates love. We
have become someone who seeks love. Love always has been a mystery. But the
present generation has totally changed the meaning of love. They have
different concepts and meanings for love. For them new generation love is a
pastime affair. Love is for fun. For the love is a relationship which is
devoid of emotions. Commitment, trust, understanding, patience, and caring
are totally unknown words for �modern love�.
