Love is…

When we love we see the best possible version of the person we love.

Along with imperfections, we see the radiance that sets them apart from everybody else.

Every kid, In order to have a healthy upbringing, needs at least one significant other, an adult who will love him unconditionally, who will see in him the best version of a human being that ever existed.

This adult who helps a kid to grow is like a good gardener who sees in a small seed the fruits of a future tree and knows how to help it to grow.

For me, love is not blindness but the powerful ability to SEE the best in a person and learn how to help him to grow and become stronger.

Many of us might not be lucky enough to have had the “right” adults in our childhood, adults who would teach us to love. Because those adults didn’t have anybody who taught them in their childhood.

So we have to take it upon ourselves to learn how to love. Many who experience falling in love might think it is easy because it comes naturally. But those initial feelings which occur to us naturally, are simply a chance for us to master the art of love.

We all know that to learn to play the piano, chess, to learn some occupations we need years of practice but for some reason, we might be neglecting the most powerful gift in our life by thinking it doesn’t require any efforts from our side.

If God is love, then he sees us in our best embodiment and cries with bloody tears when we get stuck in not the best version of ourselves.
