Love and Get Hurt

Just want to share this article sent by a friend. :)

Love is one of the questions we have always attempted to answer in more than one way. This only shows that it is quite impossible to grasp and comprehend the totality of its being. But we try, don't we? We try and find out by loving and being loved. We try and find out by getting hurt. We try and find out.

When you enter a relationship, when you commit yourself, you must always bear in mind that you are also sharing a part of yourself to a stranger who by mere chance or destined by fate, you happened to like and love. In doing so, you take a risk, a GREAT RISK.

He is really different. That is why you should not expect him to be like you. This being so, you must learn to accept him in his totality as a person. Growth is brought about by your indifference which in one way or another cultivate the relationship. It is also important to remember that trust is a vital element of many relationships. UNCONDITIONAL TRUST. No ifs, no buts.

When you love someone, honestly love, then you must be willing to sacrifice. There are times when hurts go so deep, when pain is almost unbearable, when you are about to give up. But loving is not giving up so easily. It is being there when all have gone, when there is very little strength left, when it is too much to stand.

Loving is letting be. There is really no difference between the "as-a-matter-of-fact" way and the romantic way, you might just be in a different plane of understanding which may be the cause of misinterpretations.

If he says he is honest with you, then don't kill yourself by saying he's not. How do you know? His past experience is not enough to doubt him. If you can offer your "romantic" way of loving to the best, then do so. And if he can love you the "as-a-matter-of-fact" way in return, then accept it. Please do not measure the exchange. Just be honest with each other and have an open channel of communication constantly where there is a free sharing of ideas. No ifs, no buts.

Get the best out of life. Love and get hurt. Get hurt and learn. Learn and love again. It's a cycle of being.

Life is short. Experience it!
