PHILOSOPHY OF LOVE


The Meaning of True Love Versus False Love
(For Anna)
[Written in or about 1996]




"Falling in love" with someone

And truly loving them

Are two very different things.

One is love, the other isn't love at all.

"Falling" is a negative occurrence,

And being "in love" is a fallen experience.


When "looking for love" with someone,

Don't look for physical beauty or attractiveness,

But look for inward beauty,

For someone who truly loves you

Without a self-centered personality.


Beware of malevolent souls who are full of hate,

That their outward beauty hides,

People who live in their own unreal world,

Without insight into what is going on in the world,

And little or no selflessness or benevolence at all.


Most people are dependent on, and infatuated with,

Others' when they meet them, and expect you to live

How they believe you should live.

They're not giving people, they'll give no quarter

To your world if it doesn't totally jive with their's.


Those unhappy souls will quickly tire of you,

Bounce their hate off of you,

Making you at least temporarily as hateful as they,

Until they dump you in the dust,

And treat you with scorn and contempt.


Look out for those people who do not build you up,

Encourage you, or help you to grow.

They only tear you down, and make you hate yourself,

Hate them as well, and express that hate

Until you both drive eachother away.


Find a loving soul who makes you a better person,

While making you able to give them what they need,

In a mutually giving fest of respect for each other,

Putting each other first before yourselves,

And find real love for one another always.


This is the meaning of true love.
