Love, Feelings, Truth, Honesty

Pain is the killer. Pain is what we all are trying to avoid. If I try to think what the cause of pain is, I come to the conclusion that many times its the conflict of our feelings and our what we think we should be feeling, the conflict between what we get and what we think we should get, the conflict between what we do and what we think we should do etc. So the concluded culprit is the mind which thinks or projects. Probably, A dumber me would be a happier me.

Going deeper, what makes those impressions or projections in the mind which gives us a picture of how things 'should be'? Its the experiences that we have from talking to other people, listening about their experiences in similar situations etc, reading about them, movies, etc. Our mind learns from certain similar situations, establishes cause effect relationships etc. All of it is not bad. Infact, It would be one of the most important things to human intelligence, but when it comes to feelings like love that are governed more by our less understood inner selves, transparency and honesty works the best for me. Infact, if I had been educated to handle such a situation, I would have to unlearn it. I want to be dumb and uneducated about the things that are controlled by my feelings. I would rather give in than pretend to have a stand on it and eventually fall down.

Are Love and spiritual growth related? How is loving a person different from the Love itself.

I will come back and write about it again some time...

Love
