At the heart of human nature is the desire to love and be loved, to be accepted. We look to love, and look to be loved, and we hope (and maybe even pray) that we will find someone that we can give our heart to, and in return they give us theirs. And, in this giving away, we hope we will find this amazing place of acceptance and love.
In this committed partnership our life should undergo change and transformation as a result of this love relationship. True love is about living for someone else and they are living for you.
It means that you now have a shared responsibility to achieve a common goal, and that goal is love, contentment, and the joy of sharing your life with someone else while they share their life with you.
Being in this kind of partnership with someone should give each person a sense of freedom: freedom from judgment, freedom from condemnation, freedom to be themselves, and a freedom to share unreservedly without fear or belittlement or blame.
However, so often relationships are not like that and the world we live in is not like that. Today, the world is angry, and has been angry for a long time. People are broken. Every day, someone slams a door and shouts, "I hate you!" Every day, someone hurts someone else, and there seems to be a downward spiral that is spinning out of control.
The alarm bells are ringing all over the world, and all we seem to do is hit the snooze button. This has been happening for a very long time.
Is there hope? I believe there is.
