When you love someone you: Set them free. If people become greedy or overly entitled with each other; taking each other for granted, perpetrating selfish all-consuming or callous actions, its because there is hurt, anger, stress, and resentment. Its not love any more but a power struggle and a need for victory versus submission: to be right; to avoid being wrong. Worse-- to avoid being alone, or feeling that way. This is an illusion. Addictions happen, or various illnesses of the mind, thoughts, habits, or physical body... you lose lifes precious moments to whatever escapism you are using, to numb you from it, at the time. You cant make somebody love you. You cant make someone who feels pain appreciate you. One has to be mature enough to walk away; the other, mature enough to let them go -- no guilt trips. No forced obligations. This is so for friends, new and old, loves, flings, or romances, even family. Learn to love correctly, without subjugating yourself or others; without gimmicks, guilt trips, or having to be the funniest, most intoxicated, most entertaining, or most spineless, or duplicitous one in the group... Just love. Just be a friend. Give them food and a listening ear. Give and share good experiences. .. Because people are worthy of it... as are you, yourself. No judgement. No control. No battles over resources or money, or whatever respect you think youre not getting. Dont enable people. Dont cloy and cower to their every need, lest you will just resent any time they tell you something you dont like. For if I lack love, then I have nothing at all.
