Love is something that we all hope to find in others. But it's two people who have different experiences of love who really know what it is. Love is not really love until someone has been loved in a way that is representative of their own experience. Obviously, if we thought that another person could love us exactly the way we want them to, we would assume that they had a lot of experience with love.Love is not just about giving and receiving things; it is about sharing a common dissatisfaction. When we share in one dissatisfaction, we are expressing our hurt and disappointment in the relationship. The one dissatisfaction is a general feeling that underlies the specific moments in the relationship. If love were flourishing, it would be a mutual feeling of receiving love. However, in today's society, memories of past moments flash before our eyes and then they fade. Only to be searched for again in a greater unity.Love is a process of liberating the other person so that they can be free from fear and pain. It is not something that can be learned from reading about relationships or living in a supportive environment. Love is always looking for potential threats in order to make sure that love does not come from a negative experience from an abusive environment. When someone is loved, they know it.Love is something that often must be fought for, as it is often represented in the world in a destructive way. We need to strive to create a more meta physical representation of love, one that is both beneficial for all involved and sustainable. Each of us has a memory of being in a deep state of meditation, where we felt loved. This feeling is engraved in our minds, and we all search for an image of love. This image could be fleeting and destructive, as it is a reflection of how we see love in the world. But, we should remember that love is something that should be fought for, as it is a representation of the image of Christ. Love is not governed by the same rules as logic or reason. It can see things in a different light, and sometimes what is really important is overlooked. We are trying to force love into a rigid defense of a person in order to keep them from the destructive spirit that hurts them. True love knows what kind of curses a person is carrying, and will work to mold the image of love in order to produce a relationship that is free from curse. In some sense, a distorted view of love is like threatening a person with kindness - it's like having a mental image of a stalker in the paths of our minds. True love finds refuge in God.
