Left Alone

If your loved one leaves you, and you feel like your life no longer has meaning; that is exactly why they left you.  For why would one desire to be a part of a life which is meaningless without their presence?

The Void

One must first love themself, in both mind and body, before they can, in good conscience, love another.  When there is a deficiency of love for the self, one requires others to fill that hole with the love that they offer.  While they may be willing, this pressure to do so is an unfair expectation for anyone.  If one doesn’t love their body, one seeks those who will love their body; if one doesn’t love their spirit, one seeks those who will love their spirit.

The Challenge

Love should be a competition.  One should try to love another more than that person loves themself.  Like all competition, the level of gratification coincides with level of challenge.
