I thought that I know how to love someone, but I am not sure anymore. So, I looked it up in the Book of Love by Rumi. It was beautiful writing, but I did not feel warm, positive feelings about it. Instead, I started agitated and appalled by what’s been said in the book. Is love supposed to be melancholic longing? I thought that love allows creating positive, radiant, vibrant energy between two people caring for each other. With the strong bonding between the two, you can overcome any obstacles in life. I want to believe that love exists in the real world, helping the two to cope with a harsh reality – not in the sulking dream-like state.
Perhaps I am not ready to appreciate Rumi at this point in my life. Someday I hope to understand it better. More to learn.
