Isn't it wonderful to know you are loved? The only thing I can think of that challenges the knowing that you are loved, is knowing the truth.

Actually there are 5 types of love in this world. Brotherly Love, Motherly Love, Fatherly Love, Romatic Love and Real Love.
Brotherly love is the love between friends, Motherly love is that between a mother and a child it is an all forgiving one sided love. Fatherly love is also one sided but it is a conditional love. ex I will love you if you do this. Romantic love is the fairy tail people write about all the time in songs and romance novels. That state of euphoria when you meet someone. Real love is the love that you are standing in after the romantic love goes away. It is hard work and almost always a pain in the ***. But it is real and it can last a lifetime as long as both sides are committed to the relation ship. The two actually become one and it can be very rewarding. So I would say False. When you place a worth on Love you have reduced it to a thing and love is not a thing.

True Self-ishness always leads to joy, because it
is motivated always by the desire to feel as good
as possible. It is only when we are Self-ish
enough to be, do and act in accordance with our
desires (not someone else’s) that it is possible
to stay balanced. Energetically speaking, a desire
is a rush of life force energy, a connection to
the divine inner self, which can never result in
actions that are harmful. It is only when true
desires are blocked that they become twisted and
ugly. This statement goes against the common
wisdom that human nature is greedy, violent and
primitive. Human nature is precisely the opposite:
we are born knowing ourselves as powerful,
eternal, spiritual beings. Petty, competitive,
churlish and violent behavior must be overcome
with suitable practice. Observe your family,
friends and coworkers. Almost all of them are good
people, trying to do the best they can. It would
simply not be possible to build a sophisticated
society if human nature was so base. All
successful societies are based upon cooperation,
not competition. Competition works not because it
is adversarial, but because it inspires teamwork.
Ask two angry guys to get something constructive
done, it is not going to happen. All success is
based upon cooperation. That is because we live in
an attraction based universe.

These natural impulses are supposed to be
dangerous because they stem from a primitive
survival instinct. But human being has a better
mind than animals. Just look around at the mess
the world is in! But that is a delusional
assertion, a denial of the basic nature of
consciousness itself. The natural impulses of
human nature stem from a connection to life force,
and it is resistance to this divine impulse which
causes the selfish behavior people object to.

If you observe people you will quickly see that
those persons who are most alive are full of
desire, and those who look lifeless have little or
no desire. Desire = life force. Shut off desire =
selfish behavior. It's ironic that selfish
behavior actually results from self-denial.

Human nature is not a primitive, biological
instinct based on survival of the fittest, it’s a
pure connection to source energy. It is divine.
It's only when that connection is closed off that
selfish behavior is demonstrated. Every one of
your desires is, in its non-resisted state, joyful
and balanced, because that is an inherent property
of consciousness itself. True selfishness is
allowance of desire, without resistance, and
results in the impulse to give freely to others.
But it is first necessary to allow that impulse
within yourself.

True selfishness comes from the inner voice. It is
deeper than ideas generated by conscious mind.
It reflects the higher consciousness in us.
It raises the psyche and Self to a nobler level.

True selfishness transcends the limitations of
sub-conscious instincts. It speaks of what you
are as soul.

F. I need to know that if she loves me, that such a thing will last forever, or at least till death. Because nowadays loves means to like what you see or hear, or what you want to see or hear. It's only a word that looses it's value once the pleasure is over, at least for half of the people.

loving the other completely rids us from the ego and we can finally see who we are without the ego, it is not that we dont exist without it, we ONLY trully exist without it, but it is a love affair with the ego not a battlefield
