In love, men are betrayed for two reasons. When they give undeserved love. And when they don't give love when deserved. She wants to earn your love and you won't let her - your love is cheap, therefore it is not love. She wants your conditional approval - not unconditional - your love is desperate, therefore it is not love. Love comes naturally when love is balanced. > I wish people would stop speaking about people in heavy generalities like this. Also, if love can be earned then it’s not love. All love is earned, my friend. 🤍 It's one thing to have love to give, but another to give it. Nothing wrong with generalizations either, as long as they remain aligned with the spirit of truth. Open your mind and heart for a new perspective. > I disagree 💜 > > “If I love you, I don't want anything from you not even your love.” > > —Osho > > And generalizations are harmful, especially regarding relationship advice. People aren’t a monolith and I find ideas centered in variations of “AWALT” or “AMALT” as a desire to flatten individuals down into unfair caricatures. I understand and I make that distinction too, it's a longer conversation. But generalizations are useful as well, they simplify abstract ideas into manageable bits. You can never capture the full essence of a thing of course but you shouldn't need to, not always. My take on love is slightly different than Osho's, I guess - I don't believe in one-sided love. I don't think one-sided live exists at all. If I love you as in truly love you then you love me too, it's a given - given what love is. I'd say, in this case, Osho is a bit of a hypocrite. But not a very good one.😁
