What are the common misconceptions of love?

Love is a feeling like hunger is a feeling and just as when you are hungry, you have to handle that hungry feeling well... know what food to eat to stay healthy, avoid poisonous food and so on... you too must know how to handle your feelings of love well or you will be in trouble


Misconception of love is largely due to an individual's life journey. A person growing up in a disruptive domestic environment is likely to learn about love much more differently from another coming from a loving family. And of course, when you factor in karmic reasoning - our growth and cosmic lessons will differ vastly, giving rise to different attitude and perception of what love is to them.

The notion of 'misconception' is not literal; in fact, it's more likely to be a 'pseudo-reality' having to live in their own experience and suffering from the consequence of what have been presented to them. They will classify it as their version of truth in love, accepting and feeding these grime maliciously into their mindset and in turn, behaving like what their thoughts believe in.

Love is never about destiny - it's about empowerment, realization, choice and learning.

Many times, it's not so much of how much someone suffered in love - it's about how you come out of it and surmounts those challenges. Not everyone needs higher learning in love; you just need to know enough to make your relationship fulfilling.

Cheers
