Reply To: "LOVE" IN CRISIS

TO always runs with scissors fast: “I think that once you adore and admire all those wonderful qualities in the other person, and therefore feel fulfilled being close to them, hence calling that love, it is entirely spontaneous and natural that you’d want to give and serve back to the other person.”

What you call love is correct. It is “love of self”

It`s not WRONG in itself as I explained to zahavasdad.

You are right in saying that you want to give and serve the other.

At this point of time, since what one is really experiencing(subconsciously)is just love of self,the motivation to give to the other stems from the pleasure of “receiving.”

Once I do not feel my needs “of receiving” are being met( which is referred to as “falling out of love”) then my motivation to give and serve ceases.
