On 2002/08/08 19:06, jlb posted thus to the K-list: I can probably tell you a lot more about un-requited love.. than I can about love. But yes.. I think it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
I wouldn't wish a broken heart on anyone.. but God must know that it makes us better.. because we all seem to get that experience some time in life.
After reading this post, I reviewed some of my own poetry writing.. one called Lost Love's Pain.
If' you've "been there; done that".. this one will touch your soul even more.. But as I read it.. it did seem to apply well as kundalini poem too.. so I decided to reply.
If you'd like to see it.. its at http://finepoetry.com/spiritual.htm
If you like any of these.. I have a lot more I might share on a more personal level.
No its not safe ! But yes.. my advice is go ahead and fall in love.. as often as you can. Its not really that easy to do. Especially after you have been hurt. I honestly believe.. after it all, that God is in these matters of the heart a lot more than we are willing to give Him credit for sometimes. Why/when they come and go etc. Sure.. you have to take responsibility and pay for mistakes etc.. but ultimately its all about zeroing (balancing) the blame and guilt... That's when we find peace. Spiritually and in relationships.

Falling in love is never safe. The real question is: Is the risk of a
broken heart worth the experience of Love?
Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all"(?) really?
We love those qualities in others that are like the qualities in ourselves
and we love those qualities in others which we lack, but find desireable.
So to answer your last question; yes, love allows us to reunite with Whole.
