Understanding True Love

Well! There are many misconceptions about True love that I would try to change with my opinions on this particular topic. Hello fellas! I have considered being one of the toughest roles to be a social worker. Everyone has his/her own set of problems. I came across the thing really unexpected that I didn’t even know existed. The only way I could describe it is “LOVE”.

Love exists in things, plants, nature not just in people or not just in romance. Buddhists refer it to as “Indra’s net” which connect all of us and all the things in this world. It means that everything we do the effect, other people, even the tiniest little things. According to me “Love is taking care of other people’s tiniest needs if they need you you’ll look out for them”. Even if you want evidence you’ll find it. You can even find the evidence in the tiniest things like a little butterfly landing on your shoulder to show that you’re not alone. Unfortunately, love doesn’t fix everything as everybody here will know. There was still the pain in the world and conflicts and war both individually and politically. Life isn’t perfect as Leonard Cohen said: “There is a crack in everything and that is how the lights get in”. The thing that makes a huge difference is to tell you the truth to somebody who really knows how to listen. Every person has darkness in themselvesThats ok and normal. I believe that love is defined as two souls are in 1 and really how it felt but it can be completely unpredicted; you can have a completely different lifestyle and background irrespective of your age.

The key to true love is in the word TRUE. You can’t choose to only love some people and others. If you have to be in an open relationship, you have to be open enough to everybody else and vice versa (not in a sexual manner). I would like to end it on a great poem by 13th-century poet Rumi. Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing there is a field. When the soul lies down in the grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase each other doesn’t make any sense.
