Day 941 Real Love

 From my drafts in 2023:

Im looking at what Love consists of. It is powerful because it can get a man or a woman to have sex, to propose marriage, to conceive a child. It has thus a possessive quality. It is addictive, you always want more until you're fulfilled for a while, then it weakens in strength, causing you to find a new source of love. There is no choice regarding love. The quality of being powerless defines it. If your love leaves, you have no power to make him/her stay. 

Given you don't have a choice regarding love, this spoils love. Because you can have a great person, yet you don't love them? Love then doesn't give an indication of how much you care for a person or how grateful you are for them. 

I would like to write about real love now.

Real love is not something you feel to feel good about yourself. You feel the connection and responsibility to all things. You know that all is you. The matter is you. The material, the physical, on all levels. The atoms. The parts that make up the atoms. The organisms, the structures. All of it. And what gives life meaning is this. That we are all one and equal. And how we live this out is what gives us the power to create with reality. The sacrifices we make, the lessons we learn, the listening we do to understand deeper. What we suffer through. Seeing for ourselves what the meaning of life is directly.
