we become infatuated. If we see more differences
than similarities, we become resentful. But if
we embrace both similarities and differences
in a relationship, we have love."
~Dr John Demartini
Interesting to consider this in many types of
relationships - including the one we all have
with those we aren't intimate with in the
world.
What do you think?
I also think it interesting to note just
because there is an appreciation of differences
and similarities and there is an acknowledgement
of love, it does not mean that the people in
our lives need to stay there. Sometimes it
is best to love at a distance.
Often the various pieces of relationships get
collapsed and as a result, actions are confused.
I think it is important to be careful not to
use a statement like this as an excuse or reason
to settle for something less than ideal. At the
same time, its perspective may allow you to find
peace in a situation that is troubling.
