Love: The Highest Expression of Being
When we act without love, we don't just harm others; we diminish ourselves. Love is not a transaction or a weapon we wield to justify being "right." Instead, it's a state of being that must flow freely—pure, unforced, and unwavering.
Imagine this: expressing lack of love, no matter how justified it may feel, is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to suffer. The one who withholds love isn't "winning" or teaching anyone a lesson. Instead, they are reducing their own essence, their own light. To act without love is, quite literally, an act against oneself.
Many wise people understand this truth: “Never fight with a mad person, for doing so makes you equally mad.” Why? Because engaging in anger, hate, or vengeance pulls you down to a place of lack—where love cannot exist.
Love, in its truest form, is free. It cannot be forced, manipulated, or demanded. Force and love are opposites—where one exists, the other cannot. You can’t control someone into loving you. To do so is not love; it’s a reflection of your own fears and insecurities.
When you choose to love, even when others choose to withhold it, you rise above. You see their lack of love not as a reason to retaliate but as a test of your own capacity to embody love. It’s not about convincing them or winning them over. Instead, it’s about standing firm in your state of being, where love remains the truth of who you are.
And here’s the beauty: when love speaks through you—without expectation, without force—it plants seeds in the hearts of others. You don't have to fight, prove, or force anything. Love within them will awaken when it’s ready, and that is not your burden to carry.
So, when someone expresses a lack of love toward you, let it be an opportunity to deepen your commitment to love. Speak your truth, but let it go. Allow love to do its quiet, transformative work within them, on its own time.
Because love, at its core, is not about what you get back. It’s about what you give freely. And when you give your free will to love, you not only prove its power—you live it.
