Of course many people need and deserve love...but we must also do our best to be...lovable.I honestly believe that some think that they are seeking love when they are really just seeking attention,adulation and company.Some people I know are dating again within weeks of getting divorced,they talk about be heartbroken and devastated,but are soon chasing after a brand new dream of a person.They will tell you that life must go on and that there's no point dwelling on the past.Perhaps this seems like a good and positive thing,but the most admirable people are the ones who can take time out after a relationship and not just go nose-diving straight back into the relationship pool.They know that sometimes you have to just be true to yourself,before you can start being true to others.True to your own values and beliefs.We must make sure that we are not just trying to get away from ourselves,wrapping ourselves in so much busy helter
skeltering that we don't have to stop and address ourselves.We all have to halt everything sometimes,and know that the only way to make the world a better place is to be make ourselves more lovable.Then anything is possible.We can't find the answer in others all of the time,and it's fun to look around and appreciate things.When we look we find there is always something to be grateful for,and maybe we are not always quite as lonely as we sometimes think.The buddhists believe that our greatest pain as humans comes from our sense of feeling seperate from things around us,we are always trying to feel complete.Perhaps sometimes though,we are already more complete that we realize.I feel sorry for the person I knew who was always searching to be loved with such ferocity,because she was so demanding that she drove many friends and potential suitors away from her and not to her.Sometimes it is just enough to be ourselves and not always searching,chasing and hunting for ideals to love and be loved by.
