I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.
Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, he filled the palm of his hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes LOVE."
.
This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.
This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet LOVE ... they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... And just like the water spilling out of your hand, LOVE will retrieve from you .
For LOVE is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you LOVE, allow them to be free beings.
Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
.
Ask, but never demand.
It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true LOVE. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you LOVE, and yet an unconditional caring.
.
Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away.....
Life is Beautiful!!!

Love and Marriage Explained beautifully
ReplyDeleteA student asks a teacher, "What is love?"The teacher said, "in order
to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest
wheat and come back.
But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn
back to pick."
The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big
wheat, but he wonders..may be there is a bigger one later.
Then he saw another bigger one.. but may be there is an even bigger
one waiting for him.
Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he start to
realize that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he
know he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.
So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.
The teacher told him, "..this is love.. you keep looking for a better
one, but when later you realize, you have already miss the person.."
*"What is marriage then?" the student asked.
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the corn
field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you
can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."
The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to
repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he
has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfy, and come back to the
teacher.
The teacher told him, "this time you bring back a corn.. you look for
one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best
one you get.. this is marriage."
