Love is
Patient
Love is
Kind
Love is
Happy in Truth
okay, that's a good start. From Corinthians, which we printed up a couple of days ago.
Patient:
The other person doesn't have to be better
Later
and then you can love
They are what they are
and maybe better would be nice
and the improvement can be loved
and the now and unimproved state
can be loved
and we can be patient along the way
Kind
Kin
As if a good family, kind people
who care about you
and will look after your happiness
when you are down
and will root for your becoming what you want
to become
and
will be curious and supportive about
how
you are
right now
And Happy in Truth:
"I turn myself into angry when you do...."
The truth of our emotions with other people.
Looking at the illusions of
"You should change
so I can be happy"
Which is the root of almost all interpersonal suffering
And the easy question:
Is it true?
And another question:
Without my words about this situation,
what is the truth of it?
It's straightforward in a crazy way.
Love is...
Action toward another
that is
Patient
Kind
and
Leaving them alone while we look for the truth in
ourselves
And
Love Ain't.
In a hurry
to fix the other
Love ain't
unkind
and insensitive and critical
all those sort of things
Love Ain't
the un truth
of blaming other people for how we feel
And Love Ain't a feeling,
though the feeling of wanting to be near and close to another,
but any of those feelings that don't translate into actions
that benefit the other and the WE that can come from love
good
