Love Responsibly

English followed by Italian / Inglese seguito dall'italiano Like all things in life, love changes with time. Sometimes, it fades, sometimes it becomes stronger. Sometimes, it loses its magic after a while. And if lovers do not keep rekindling the fire, love will die.

Love is never easy. Easy to say we love, but difficult to demonstrate it every day. For love to grow and stay, for a relationship, or marriage to work, both partners have to put in effort. Both have to be committed, and trust in each other.

Love, like all emotions, can be controlled. Rein in your emotions. Have a practical attitude and a sensible approach to love, and you will continue to enjoy this warm, fuzzy feeling called love.

In our culture, love is romanticized as a mystifying, random whirl of passion that happens to a person. Falling in love is thought to be the culmination of love. Yet, love is only meaningful and lasting when a person chooses to love responsibly and welcomes the opportunity to allow love to grow and deepen with time. - Rokelle Lerner

A summer breeze can be very refreshing; but if we try to put it in a tin can so we can have it entirely to ourselves, the breeze will die. Our beloved is the same. He is like a breeze, a cloud, a flower. If you imprison him in a tin can, he will die. Yet many people do just that. They rob their loved one of his liberty, until he can no longer be himself. They live to satisfy themselves and use their loved one to help them fulfil that. That is not loving; it is destroying. - Thich Nhat Hanh

When you love someone, you do not love him or her all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet, this is exactly what most of us demand. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was, nor forward to what it might be, but living in the present and accepting it as it is now. - Anne Lindbergh
