I Wish That Love Was Enough
Love Is Always Enough If... the Feeling Is Mutual And.......
You have a real working knowledge of what real love is, but most of us don't know what that is.
I say it depends on what you call Love. I have found that Love is enough when you are not asking someone to consume you 24/7 or you are trying to consume them 24/7.
The Love most people are looking for is usually looking right back at them every morning in the mirror. Start doing it for yourself 1st . Love yourself silly 1st - then go find the icing on the cake! (a possible mate)
Eros is only the heat and/or passion in a possible Love relationship...ie physical. But without the essential life parts that make up each of us ... Eros can only fill about one third of the Love relationship contract.
Why are you doing everything for the relationship? Why are you the designated hitter all the time? Why aren't you waiting to see how things will go naturally instead of trying to totally manipulate the situation. If you are becoming a martyr in a relationship - who asked you to do so?? If you find you are doing any of the things suggested above or more, by yourself in the relationship...you are not in a Love relationship -period. You are in self denial. You have made a bargain and usually have agreed to accepting way less than what you are worth.
Make sure there is some actual REAL Love going on before you say Love is not enough. Getting our physical needs and mental needs met is not Love. No matter what you see on TV, Cable, or Satelite. Love is the only thing you really cannot bargain with if it is right. True Love only accepts the real deal. It doesn't make self serving contracts made to keep people together for all the wrong stuff.
Most people make these bargains (wobbly personal contracts)with one another and call it Love. Then someone does something to make the contract null and void - then comes the statement "They didn't Love me!", and then tears, rants, broken pride, and self disgust. These situations can even become dangerous or fatal.
Guess what? Unless you both get hit with what the Italians call the THUNDERBOLT (TRUE LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT) it is not the Love you are looking for. TRUE LOVE TAKES TIME, LIVING, FAILING & FORGIVING, WINNING, SUPPORT - & loving each other thru the fire and whatever comes each day.
You go find someone who wants to do that with you and you want to do this, also... then you have the begining of a Love that is not only enough but just keeps bubbling up over the rim of each of your hearts everyday. And, it will be enough for the both of you.
Peace and Much Love to You.
PS. I wrote this as a comment on another story, but I think a lot of us could use this info. I have done some slight modifications. But basically it is the same message. A great sage taught me this line of thinking long ago. This thought has saved my life, light and spirit more than once.
Peace to you all.
