I want to get to the point where I don't love because I'm commanded to, but because I need to.

I like that - "Love and Honesty are twins". Might have to post on that statement.

40% is pretty good. Though it should be a bit higher for a pope.

Thanks! And thank goodness love is patient, or we'd be in bigger world of hurt then we currently are.

Loving the not-so-lovable
can be hard! But... I am commanded to do it and want to be obedient. Loving someone is a willful act... a choice.... sometimes a very hard choice.

Love takes many forms, often quite different from the popular
luvvy duvvy kind that were taught to follow. Loving people sometimes means being willing to be with your adversarial feelings toward them instead of saying "Ooh no, not me! I couldn't possibly feel like that toward so and so, all ya need is love da dada da dadada...!". Love and Honesty are twins.

me?
if i love half the time i'm being pretty good.
if my thoughts are loving instead of adversarial, etc., 40% of the time, then I feel I qualify for sainthood.
i work toward some loving postures -- doing things for others -- but there still is that human thing of -- you know -- the "works of the flesh" -- the usual striving.
but, unlike Ariala, I fool people into believing I'm loving. It seems to work most of the time.

sannhet, what a cool post...I do remind myself that sometimes other
people's moods might prevent them from "feeling" my love. The resistance is there at times, but love is patient and love is kind and gives space when it's needed.
