Stop Longing For Love!

A few days after Valentine’s and with the storm of “love” posts and articles spent, I unintentionally heard a friend’s confession over the phone where he was expressing his longing for love.

I felt sad and somehow angry. I felt saddened by the suffering that my friend was experiencing and angry because he was unable to see the love he already had in his life, being a father of two.

We all have love in our lives. Even if we are not in a romantic relationship – and maybe this kind of love is missing for the moment – there is the love of and for our family, the love of and for our friends, the love of and for the people we meet, work with, create connections and interactions. It is the love that we receive and the love that we give. We have above all the love for ourselves.

The moment we are consumed by this longing for love, we have erased all the wonderful love that is already there. For me this is simply disrespectful to that love.

Note to all:

Stop longing for love; you all have love in your lives. Just stop and feel it. Celebrate it in any occasion and feel grateful for it.
