A quiet joy of love

Freezing spring wind embraced my face today. The soul does not feel cold, but the body is the instrument with which I experience the world. I accept the physical experience with a quiet joy.

How about you?

 

The more you feed joy and love the more you will be them. This must happen unselfishly, without compulsion or artificiality. The world is full of pretension, smiles and promises which are not real. The world is also full of honesty, smiles and being which are real. You must recognize them in you and in others. You must recognize yourself. Do you know yourself?  Many think that they recognize themselves, their expectations and needs although they only recognize the needs and expectations that the environment has created for them. Can you distinguish real love from market values? You can if you only want to. Can you distinguish between desire and love? For love is much more of the  attitude ”how I love” rather than  ”how I am  loved”. The need to be loved has prevailed for too long over expression of real love in humanity. All kinds of means for being loved have been and are being used. People do things, buy products and choose attitudes in order to be loved. In the course of history many distorted attitudes have become generally accepted laws and patterns of behavior. The world is so full of these norms restricting love and freedom, rites and attitudes that an individual who expresses love may seem as unfit for the society. Because love and freedom are one. When we express love we are free.
