the reason we love, is not to possess or to be possessed.

the reason we love, is not to get to our own selfish desires

the reason we love, is not to use it as a means for another end.

still we are human, we can't run away from our vested interests, our own selfish interests, our own desires. but let's face it - as long as we start to love with an effort of keeping it pure and NOT TRANSACTIONAL, we are on the right track.

why should we cheat ourselves and act like we are saints?

why should we tell ourselves we are already doing so?

why do we act like we are there?

once again, by accepting our human-ness, we need to realise we may be living in a mistake anyways. we may be making mistakes at this very moment, or unknowingly making a mistake for the past few days/months/years of our lives.

we may never have the chance to achieve perfection due to our nature, but still, we strive towards it earnestly while admitting that we would not be there. at least we are near there.
