Today, I was chatting with my friend about love and attachment. She told me she wanted to practice love without an attachment like the way Buddhists do.
Is it even possible? I wonder. However, no matter possible or not, heartbreak is something that we will definitely experience in our lives if we want to experience love. There is no way out, you will break up. Even if you don’t and you have a life partner, it will still end because humans die anyway. This works for all kinds of relationships, us and our parents, us and our children….We cannot avoid heartbreak, we can only learn how to handle it better, and how to feel okay with this.
Unless….
Unless you are in an amazing relationship that you never break up, have the person as a partner for life, and die earlier than they do. So, the key to experiencing 0 heartbreak and being in love is:
And then you will feel so happy and loved in your lifetime.
Well well well….but now your parents are also getting old. What should you do?
I know it sounds funny and ridiculous to think like this. But so many people are looking toward this kind of life implicitly. No one hates love but hates the negative consequences love may bring, like pain and heartbreak. That’s why so many people are so afraid of commitment and in-depth relationships. However, if we want to experience great love while not having heartbreak, isn’t this the scenario we are looking for?
What do you mean by the word "love"? That aside and almost regardless of the definition having lost through her passing the "love" of my life, this life, over 15 years ago. She died but "love" itself did not. She loved me unconditionally... it continues to manifest itself in everything I say/do. I reciprocated love because how could I not? As the love partner that lived on I cannot describe or experience the state as "broken hearted". Rather, "wholehearted" as love continues.
