Definition of Love
I heard a great new definition of what love is today from somebody I admire and respect.
Loving somebody means you care deeply enough about them to want to aid them in their spiritual development.
As far as I am concerned, this makes perfect sense to me. Those that love and respect me have done just this. And others I have problems with, well they haven’t. I guess they have a different definition of love. Their love has an agenda and It’s not unconditional. “Do this for my praise” or “you need to act this way” is what they are thinking although they would never admit it. This makes me ponder the question, do these people that don’t believe or understand my definition of love, really love me? I mean these people are my family and long time friends. Is it possible that they don’t love me? This is a tough thing to even think about. And from what I’ve learned, tough things need exploring.
