WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?

Love, real love, gets taken advantage of all the time. 

Ironically, it’s in its very nature to get used--and even abused. It never wants this, (that would be sick) but it willingly accepts it in order to defuse or at least diminish the abuse’s (and the abuser’s) power. 

Such love is very different from the ego-energized, condition-based kind that “loves” for the sake of gaining or maintaining personal advantage. A love that is all about me, myself and I. A zero-sum love.  

Whoever the ancient was who penned the words, ”Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins.” (I Peter 4:8) they had a wholly different definition of love from the ego-based one which is our usual modus operandi. They wrote of a love so all-empowering that it can defuse and disarm our ego’s abusive advances--a love so condition-free that we can practice it right where we are no matter what our circumstances--a love so real that it’s clear they knew, first hand, what they were talking about.  

This love, real love, is life-transforming for its recipient. And equally amazing, in the act of practicing it on others we actually experience the same all-forgiving all-freeing love for ourselves.

What’s not to love about that?
