...lived, loved and learned!

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.
After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.
Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.
I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.
I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.
If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.
I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.
Love and blessings
Your brother

I never quite understood why pre puberty the two sexes have very little to do with each other, then all of a sudden when they reaching the age of reproduction they start falling madly in love together. My only conclusion is the whole thing is a cruel deception brought about by mother nature purely for the procreation of the species. So to answer your question you, really have no choice in the matter

we know everything has beginning and ending.Then the reason of falling in love and knowing it will end for each story is due to impermanent of the physical physio phenomenal that we live in is always in the flux of changing.Look carefully around you and recollect last year and this year you will know the changes is still in process.
IF YOU CAN FIND A MEDITATION TEACHER near you who are qualified to teach you to look within yourself by concentration on the breathing process,you will realise that the mind is just cannot stop and it is non self in the way you see it arise the mental formation or object .As quickly as it arise it make itself pass away.
The training of this way tells us that everything thing is subject to begin and also will end.
But in common saying we just don't want to believe that truth so we enjoy being love,hate,separate and repeat the new process with someone new and ending again in the seperation and the root cause is IGONORANT OF THE MIND WHICH WHEN translated we call every happening as I OR is Mine..
And finally the human desire for lust is the root cause of falling in love again knowing there is end for each joy.

This question is a bit like saying why get out of bed, why get dressed because at the end of the day you have to undress and go back to bed.
Its about revelling in the EXPERIENCE as it happens. Without having an "agenda" about the "ending" or results. What happens in the end HAPPENS. So enjoy the ride.

Because a life of infinite misery is unbearable and positivity is an end in its self. People ought to be treated as ends in their selves rather other than a means to a personal end.

....because we can't help it. The term to 'fall' in love in very indicative of this. Then we also 'fall' into supposing that OUR love is different from all others', ours will last, this is different. But it is not, for everybody thinks like this.

Curiosity. even though you know it's going to end you still want to know how. besides each time you open a new story you learn something new, it's all good.

NOTHING LASTS FOREVER AND WE BOTH KNOW HEARTS CAN CHANGE AND IT'S HARD TO HOLD A CANDLE IN THE COLD NOVEMBER RAIN.
