Love - no longer taking, but giving
What is it that motivates most people? Wanting to take. Wherever they go, they look for what they can take. They study, work, marry and come together to take; they always think along these lines. The reason why they give off no light, warmth or life is that they have become used to taking. Even in love, when a man and woman seek each other out, they are more often thinking only of what they can take, the man wanting to draw from the woman’s aliveness, and vice versa. And when there is nothing left to take, they part. You will say, ‘But when they come together, they give each other something!’ Yes, but only all the better to take; each thinks only of getting something from the other, of greedily, selfishly and unscrupulously drawing from them. Well, that is not what love is. Love means giving something to the other’s heart and soul – whether an impulse, or life, or inspiration – so that they may blossom and go forward in light and joy.
