Need and Love

Need and Love:
"When you think about it, needing someone's love can be very painful. There's always the chance that that particular love may not appear or that it will be snatched away just when you thought you had it. Then you are commonly left with life-threatening thoughts such as 'I will not survive without him.'
Our culture is big on the idea that happiness depends on finding 'the one.' Yet, when you think about it, it's a funny exercise. Take the dating scene, for example. It can be an endless parade of people. You can't help but think that this one is too skinny, that one is too hairy, or that other one smells too much like a dishtowel. And when you finally find the one your life is changed. He's perfect. You go merrily along with the new love of your life.
Then wham, from nowhere: 'Honey, I don't love you, I never really did.' None of us can control another person -- not even 'the one.' He will come and go as he pleases. "

Temptation: When to Avoid, When to Give In

Temptation: When to Avoid, When to Give In:

"Nothing makes the soul stir or causes greater arousal than the junction of intrigue and speculation. The little air of mystery that surrounds the forbidden, the thing that we are told we cannot or should not have, is the main ingredient in all fantasies. It creates an undeniable desire within us because we are all perversely excited about the unknown. We love to want, need and lust; it drives both our imaginations and bodies wild.
The immense power of wonder takes hold of our minds and creates a plethora of possibilities and adventure. Although humans are a species of habit, we feel most alive when we are taken outside of our perimeters. The staple behind every heated attraction and romance is the ever-present tantalizing temptation that lies ahead."
