who knows nothing, loves nothing.
Who can do nothing, understands nothing.
Who understands nothing, anything goes.
But who understands also loves, he observes, is ...
The greater the knowledge inherent in a thing,
greater the love ...
Paracelsus (1493 - 1541).
For the third year I decided to write again about love, especially being a day of celebration of love, which according to some other poor unfortunate day also commemorates the friendship.
I return to write about love because I consider it one of the most recurrent themes in my personal agenda of sensations and feelings because once again get to this day only (does not mean that either three consecutive years without having known love as ridiculously as it were). Love and always return on this-is a key issue for me. My constant concern has always been about establishing a relationship of love, nature, the permanence of the state of love and failure thereof. And it is to reach an understanding that is meant full of love and the thousands of forms it can take is not easy.
Rather, love is never easy to be a feeling of more maturity and experience that can be count on it. Love constantly challenges us to scrutinize and understand, "or the more whimsical of the cases without consent to understand what tellers throughout every stage of life. Hence will never be possible to establish an absolute concept of love given its ontological relativity.
Returning some of the latest ideas of the first paragraph, regarding the success and failure of love, shall we say, then, that it-as well noted by Erich Fromm (1900-1980) in his book The Art of Loving - is indeed an art and therefore requires knowledge and TRENGTHENING. This post and the next you type in the course of the next few weeks will seek comment some of the fundamental ideas of this book, whose great reading thanks to my brother Paul, and scrutinize the problem of love is not simply the problem be loved and how to make us worthy of love.
People usually think they have to learn to love, and so very scarce devote time to exercise in an art like this. Moreover, even regard it as such, but prefer to take and deal with issues spontaneously loving and even playful. But why is that? Without wishing to realize we are all hungry for love, and if not we see part of what we consume:-themed films romantic who never fail to see, or lyrically diverse songs all tell us how to live love. However, before this little love fever are the efforts to start a business have emotional as this the best way possible. Again, we live the experience of love with spontaneity leaving illusory and inconsistent way to frenzy and what the target might hold.
As I noted, we believe that falling in love is easy but if we agree that finding someone to love us or love is one thing less light that may exist. And is that as well Fromm writes:
No other company starting with so many human hopes and expectations and fails so often.
This situation is crossed by the confusion between love and permanent state of being in love . After numerous setbacks we suffered to walk the path of love is necessary to examine the causes of this failure and explore the meaning of love. Fromm believes that we spend little time learning the art of love because it provides money or prestige but benefits the soul. In this sense, love is an activity that we provide bountiful profit-materially speaking, but we recognize the importance of spiritual welfare states to experiment when we know or love ones. By establishing a loving bond we join not only someone who is not us but we are committed to transcend individual life and find complementarity in the other we're going to love. The enlightened response to the desire of interpersonal fusion is the love.
understand the many facets of the love is in realizing that this merger does not suppress the individuality of the two components that form the relationship. Citing Fromm:
In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two.
So stated for the umpteenth time that love is the fruit of freedom and can not be the result of collating violent mood or circumstantial situations so it arises. Love, then, is not obsession or pressure. Is the flow of two wills in their differences complement each other and believe that together can ride. In understanding the dynamics of love is one of the first steps to deal with an activity like this. And talk about the dynamics of love involves seeing that the chief of all their movements is to and not receive . Fromm could not be more clear in telling us:
Love is an activity and not an effect passive is to be continued, not a sudden outburst. In the most general sense can be described the active nature of love saying that love is primarily giving, not receiving.
The demonstration is given vitality. Dar is a statement of the exuberance of being, overflowing, prodigal, alive and happy. In the midst of giving that rutilancia cares, respects, is known and care is taken for what they love. We care about the life and growth of the loved one and give it an important step towards the renunciation of selfishness with the establishment of a unifying link with which complements and enriches us.
is
loves that for which you work
and work for what you love.
