| The opposite of love
may not be hate, but fear. We all hunger for the
experience of loving and of being loved, but something blocks us from reaching
out to satisfy the hunger.
The more we separate ourselves from healing love, the more we
experience isolation and fear.
The fear may show itself as an apprehension about future
catastrophes, as worries and anxieties, as a discomfort with life that blooms
into hostility toward others.
Instead of loving others, we wind up feeling threatened by
them. The spiral of fear grows and we become enmeshed in an inability to love.
If we choose to love, our life becomes meaningful and whole. |
