Our image of perfection
BySo often, we are raised with an image of perfection. Coming fromĀ from family and society.
Then along comes a magic moment. It appears in all it’s splendor as special person. Love. Bliss and happiness. “I want to spend all of my time with Her/Him.”
A bit of comfort and familiarity may set in and a thought may creep into the mind. The realization that they don’t really fit our image of perfection. It may be a defining moment in a relationship.
We can experience real love by accepting the other person the way they are without trying to change them or we can admit we don’t love them the way they are and try to change them.
One choice leads to deeper love, the other leads to pain. It’s a fork in the road. Which path will you take?
Love and Roses on the Windshield,
Paul
