Dedicated to all those who are or have been lonely and alienated.
Also meant for those who have been hurt by others who take relationships like a joke- or, perhaps, are themselves the jokers.

TL;DR version:
"In the teachings of non-duality, (the core of many religions and philosophies,) the message is simple – we are all part of the infinite, ever-present, eternal one life; we are all deeply interconnected and inseparable. Loneliness and separation is an intrinsic, permanent part of our ego."

- "Loneliness – it is separate from aloneness; two different things. Our physical nature is to be alone. We can never, not be alone. But that is not a problem, it only causes sorrow when we run away from it. When we run from our nature, we cause our own pangs of loneliness… but when we acknowledge and embrace our nature, we find the beauty of aloneness.
- From aloneness, that is the beginning of true Romance. I am not saying everybody fakes love – I’m saying lonely people do; for they cannot love if they need. Love is the opposite of need. Once you stop needing, that is when you can find love. There are many who do truly love; there are many who do not expect anything in return – but those are the souls who have found aloneness.
- Once you have stopped being needy is when you can truly go out into the world and find a proper romance and relationships. Otherwise, it is likely to be neediness, attachment – and not real love. Real Love cannot come from loneliness. I am not saying we should all be alone forever, although there’s definitely nothing wrong with that."

I think i agree with you, 47. Love is something you learn, not something you read or whatever. But this was a good read Kura.Posted February 25th, 2011 at 8:11 PM by インフェルノの津波
