To all who has given up on love or don't believe in it...

I think that we forget sometimes...
I think that almost everybody here has had some sort of past experience
with the below...
just depends on how we dealt with it...
About Love

If you find yourself in love with someone
who does not love you, be gentle with yourself.
There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn't choose
to rest in the other person's heart.

If you find someone else in love with you and you don't
love him, feel honoured that love came and called at your
door, but gentlly refuse the gift you cannot return. Do not
take advantage, do not cause pain.

If you fall in love with another and he falls in love with you
and then chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it or asses blame.
Let it go. There is a reason and a meaning. You will know in time.

Remember that 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. There is where many lovers go wrong.

Having been so long with love they understand love only as a need.
They see their hearts as empty places that will be filled by love, and
they begin to look at love as something that flows to them
rather than from them.

The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing but as their love
cools, they revert to seeing theri love as need. They cease to be
someone who generates love and instead become someone who seeks
love.

They forget that the secret of love is that it is a gift and that it can be
made to grow only by giving it away.

Remember this and keep it to your heart. Love has its own time, its own
seasons, and its own reason for coming and going. You cannot bribe it or
coerce it, or reason it into staying. You can only embrace it when it comes
to you. But if it chooses to leave from your heart or from the heart of your
lover, there is nothing you can do and there is nothing you should do.

Love always has been and always will be a mystery. Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life. If you keep your heart open it will come again.

P_gal, I guess u have got enlightenment in lovely hill ( west of pokhara) - just kidding.
I think things written in ur thread must feed something to the people who are searching for definitation/explanation of love.

yes that was the plan...hopefully now all the lonely and heart broken people will know how to deal with love and know that they are not alone;-) love is all around

Easy to say hard to follow!
All I could see was "blah blah blah" in these words... sorry din think there was a bit of reality and practicality in them!

haahaahaaa...YOU DON"T CHOOSE LOVE. LOVE CHOOSES YOU...you don't think thats the reality of life? Yeah not everything in life is easier said then done but these are just some things to do for heartaches n loneliness. I am by no means an authority on love but I have been through relationships n i have learned that those old relationship sayings do hold true...so sorry if I post a message to try n help other people who might be going through some tough times...BITE ME!lol j/k...heeeheee
