You’re in a ship and it’s sailing across the stormy seas. If you’re hacking holes in it with pickaxe, you should probably pay attention to that before you sink. So, it’s a good idea to keep what stupid you’re doing in mind that you can stop doing it.
Jordan B. Peterson (on Why be virtuous?)
To love truly,
is to commit fully.
Brainfully.
Heartfully.
Soulfully.
Beautifully!
If relationship-tree is to have the trunk, branches, leaves, flower and eventually the fruits — commitment gives it the vitality; commitment transports the essential minirals to nurture it; commitment inflates the breathe of life inside it.
For, commitment is the root, and true love (whatever it means to you) is the whole tree I know.
Alas, commitment is tough. Because, in the world where we live today the road to lust; the path to momentary cravings; the alleyways of impulsive desire; the address of loud, irresistible sexy-ness around is without-a-miss silky and icy. It’s proxy solid. It’s slippery. It’s frictionless. It’s bewitching. It’s bewildering.
At the same magnitude, real love for real is scant.
That, real love for real is limited to only the virtuous which unfortunately, there aren’t many.
To say the least:
Commitment is through which virtues such as trust, loyalty, kindness, sincerity, honesty, care, love, gratitude, gentleness, purity, tolerance, understanding and all the likes flows out and about!
Questions.
Are you committed?
Are you afraid of commitments?
Are you pathologiz-ing your love with lies and fabrication?
Are you for real?
Namaste.
