Parthon, what you write is so beautiful, and so poetic! I loved reading it when I read it when you originally posted it, and I loved reading it again just now.

The hard question though is: how do you get there? I started out by realising that we are all human, and we are all in this together. If I'm deserving of love, then everyone is. Now, if you don't think you are deserving of love, then there's a deeper issue going on, sort that out first.  |
Hmm, I might have an issue with that myself. I dunno, I've never consciously sought out to be loved, nor cared about it. Maybe subconsciously I craved it though...

Love doesn't require you to do anything, but if you wish you can. Love permits all and accepts all. Love for love's sake, not for some "because". Give up the notions that it has to look a certain way, or that it has to be proved or that you have to prove it. Love because you want to, not because you have to or feel like it. Love because you don't want to.  Love today, love tomorrow and love yesterday. And most of all: Love yourself, just as much as you love everyone else. |
So, how do you do that - how do you just "love for love's sake"? How do do you
just love? In other words, if I was a robot, I'd ask you, what lever do I pull in myself?
