Discipline?

"Love isn't something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn't a feeling, it is a practice." ~ Erich Fromm
 
How wonderfully true. The idea that ‘love’ is something I have to learn because I unlearned it so thoroughly, is not an attractive one. We are so used to saying ‘I love you’ and most of the times it just means ‘you adequately fulfill some ego desire’... Learning to love, the only purpose for being on this little planet.
I am on it ... Where will this lead, you ask? To the clear statement: “I Love”. Not limited to ‘you’ nor ‘red wine’ nor ‘Mozart’, all of these come into focus as the One Love.  

​Love, Diederik
