Romantic Love is a fantasy construct

It’s remarkable.

I am taking it as a challenge myself, to extricate myself from what causes me to “love/want love”.

Love is pain, reaching out, to grasp that something that appears real. Without the pain, no love arises.

Sorta like what @Kiman is saying about harmlessness. Without the hurt, there is no hurt to be passed on.

Dealing with the pain, as in the “buck stops here” I think is the biggest challenge.

We will only hurt the one’s we “love”.
