Pure love for another person, and what people call romantic love, - TopicsExpress



          

Pure love for another person, and what people call romantic love, are two different things. Pure love doesnt manipulate the relationship to ones advantage, but romantic love is different. Romantic love contains other elements—the desire to be loved by the other person, for instance. If purely loving another was enough, you wouldnt suffer because of unrequited love. As long as the other person was happy, there wouldnt be any need to suffer because you werent being loved in return. What makes people suffer is the desire to be loved by another person. So I decided that romantic love and pure love for a person are not the same. And that by following this you could lessen the pain of unrequited love. — Hiroyuki Kano of Ōmu Shinrikyō from Haruki Murakamis Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche
