Quote of the day:

Love has no age, no limit; and no death.”

~ John Galsworthy OM, English novelist and playwright

 

Do you let go of people?  I mean, when the relationship is over and you have flicked the done switch, have you given up on them?  And if you did, is it one of those irrevocable decisions?  What about  your family?  One of the things that I struggle with understanding parents who disown their sons and daughters when their lifestyle doesn’t jibe with their expectations.  Or maybe “disowning” is too strong a word?  But what would you call it when a parent stops talking to a child and no longer knows anything about how their offspring is faring? 

 

I learned a long time ago that the opposite of love was not hate, it was indifference – the absence of caring, concern, thinking about.  Can’t say that I ever really achieved it personally,  not even with two ex-husbands and a mother who didn’t talk to me for over twenty years.    As Bela cautions those who immerse themselves in world, there is no auto-return on hearts, and even when the relationship is over, even when there are good reasons for it to be over, I find that a piece of my heart, an echo of the emotional investment that I made during that relationship always remains with the one who is gone out of my life. 

 

 

 

I don’t know if that is a good thing or not but that is what it is and who I am.
