Member-only story
What’s missing?
We were not taught how to love. We must find how.
How do we relate to love?
The people that most likely loved us were our family. Our parents and grandparents. Our siblings. The people that cared for us, and gave us our first home. The women who bore us, and the men that provided for us.
When we were children, if we were lucky, many of experienced receiving love. If we weren’t lucky, we got mostly pain.
But that’s for another story…
But we were probably never really taught HOW to give love.
At least not the well balanced kind.
We received various kinds of warped love, that came through the constrictions of spirit caused by living a life out of balance with one’s self. The torturous kind of love.
The love that humans try to give when life has hurt them.
The well-meaning, but still somewhat damaging kind of love.
The kind of love we ourselves were unknowingly learning how to give, later in life as adults. To our partners, our children, and our selves.
