The same can be true of course for lovers and friends. I think that what we are here for is to contribute love to the world in our own unique way and that means if you want to be a plumber, fine, if you want to be a housewife, terrific. The purpose of life on earth is to learn to love unconditionally, as close as possible. I don't think we will ever achieve that, but I do think we are to learn to love as close to the Christ's like love as is possible, to learn to love under the most unlikely circumstances and deepest tragedies. To learn to love even those people who are unlovable, to learn to love and accept them unconditionally, and not be judgmental.
Love is very healing.
The essence of love is getting out of oneself and into others. When we care less about our feelings, our rights, our happiness, our security, etc., and begin to concern ourselves with the feelings, rights, happiness, and security of others, we will have found the true power of love. A life of love is one of continual growth where the doors and windows of experience are always open to the wonder and magic that life offers. To love is to risk living fully. There is a spiritual godliness that drifts naturally through the affairs of man, but it is visible only if actions are undertaken and performed with that godliness in mind.
