The True Nature of Love

"To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be."
- Anna Louise Strong

This, in my mind, is as wonderful a description of true, positive, healthy love as I have ever read. The person that I wish to spend the rest of my life with is the one whose sheer act of being in my presence will help to birth in me the individual I am destined to become. Of course, I wish also to be that person for my lover. This advancing together towards a better state of existence is what, it seems to me, true love ought to be.

Food for Thought: It is impossible to find a love that pushes you in the right direction if you do not evaluate what direction you wish to go.
