However, if that is so, if love can be aroused by us, then how come it is absent from the lives of so many who repeatedly call, cry and beg for it?
You can’t force to fall in love, you can’t pretend it either. If it’s meant to be and if you open yourself to fall in love, it will eventually happen. Even at the older age. I understand, in older age it’s harder to fall in love, but everything is possible. All you have to do is to meet the right person.
Love has gone away because your soul is away. The soul has its own "life", you have your own life, and that's the way it is.
I completely agree! There are couples thinking as long as they are happy sexually they are in love. They say “there is no love without sex”. Once the sexual part passes, they think they are not in love anymore. In most cases the truth is, they were never in love. They were only sexually attracted. In my opinion sex is just a small part of love. To me being in love means happiness, being willing to sacrifice everything you have for your other half without hesitation. No matter how tough times you go through, as long as you go through it together as a team, you will always be fine. Once again, you can’t force these things I mentioned, it must be natural. It must be what your souls feels. You have to belive you can fall in love, you have to believe it exists.
That’s how I feel about it.
Indeed.
Even sex is love, as you said. Even bad relationships are love.
But the ultimate love, in my experience, is the allowing of the soul, the I AM.
Accordingly are my posts.
