😁 It requires honesty with ourselves. Society looks outward more than inward typically.

I definitely agree with the second quote, people show you who they want to become, at least most of the time.

It took me recognizing this in myself, to truly see it in others.

Interesting quote, and perhaps true in some cases. I do know that, as a Christian, I am being conformed to be more like Jesus, and I won’t be that fully until I see him face to face.
Oh, thanks for following me!

I believe that is a perfect example. You are not fully like Jesus, but you are living in such a way to be more like him. Therefore, your actions and what you speak about is who you wish to be, even though you have not accomplished it fully.

Thank you! It could be a matter of the past and not the future, but it is in the very moment that a contradiction between two becomes apparent.

I have long said that “we are the sum of all past experiences” . Every one. The good and bad.How we learn,how we process events and knowledge. How we cope with bad time and disaster and how we move on(or don’t) define us in ways we cannot always comprehend.
Rumi’s take is interesting as I see love as one of the primal wants. needs and desires we all have. Primal-not basic. Basic needs are air, water, food, warmth and so on. But on a much more primal level we each want to love (another) and be loved in return, to touch another and be touched in return, to hear and other and to be heard.. I have wrote of that for years. Most recently on fuse which I see you follow. Thank You.
