WHAT RELATIONSHIPS ARE FOR “YOUR TASK IS NOT TO SEEK FOR LOVE, BUT MERELY TO SEEK AND FIND ALL OF THE BARRIERS WITHIN YOURSELF THAT YOU HAVE BUILT AGAINST IT” We aim in our relationships to find satisfaction in communication, success that may have eluded us so far in our lives beginning in our families and developing through often superficial acquaintainceships, leading us to yearn for closeness in a personal relationship which we are probably not equipped to accept or recognise. The portrayal of love in our society is not based on an adult to adult relationship. The ideal of Romantic Love has been held up to be an attainable and desirable form of relationship between mortals; but when we look at it carefully and see what it entails we may see that we have been sold a pig in a poke. It is not what we have believed. One careful listen to many love songs will demonstrate what it really involves: ROMANTIC LOVE Dependency Unattainability Worship Possession Sacrifice Obsession Perfection Helplessness Salvation Exclusivity | ||
