Soul Sustenance

Can Love And Freedom Co-Exist (Exist Together)? 

Is it possible to love others and be free at the same time? Yes. To reach this state in relationships great wisdom is required. In different types of close relationships, most people love the other, but tie one another down. Thus they lose their freedom. When freedom is lost, happiness goes away, and true wellbeing gives way to unhappiness. Often we look above all for love, love we believe will change our life. We see it as the recognition of our inner value by another person. However, we trip over ourselves in looking for this love. Necessity is what motivates us and we try to satisfy it with an object or person who matches up to perfection. 

We have an immense emotional need for love, and the fear of remaining in a state of unsatisfied wanting. In our search to fill our need, we are prepared to deceive ourselves. Many people allow the love of another person to define their personality to such a point that, if they are rejected, they lose any sense of who they are and of the purpose they have in life. Often the relationship is colored by one or both people in the relationship, by fear. 

To free ourselves of the tendency to depend, we should have a strong heart, without any selfish desires; a heart that has nothing to hide and that, as a result, is free and without fear; a heart that does not hold on to closed beliefs, to old negative experiences; a heart that has good feelings and is free of bitterness; a heart filled with the true values of peace, love, freedom and solidarity . which as a result is stronger and fuller.
