“Love is not the losing of oneself in another person. That is merely escapism. Love is the natural radiation of our own healing, in which our own wholeness includes the other person, without thought on our part. The sun shines on everyone. However, an important point must be added here. Authentic love includes an understanding of the other person, based on an understanding of oneself. Love clearly understands the weakness and pretense in others, but does not condemn them in order to feel superior. The person who truly loves is never gullible, which keeps him out of trouble with others.”
