Love - how to protect it so that it endures
How can you preserve your love? How can you make it last as long as possible? By not throwing yourself on the person you are falling in love with and devouring them. Because when all the excitement has passed, weariness will soon set in, and you will lose your inspiration and your joy, like someone who has eaten too much and has no more interest in food. But humans always seem to be in a hurry to destroy anything that can bring more beauty and meaning to their lives. They will sacrifice a love that brings them every blessing, that brings them heaven, for the sake of a few minutes’ pleasure. Why do they not try putting off the physical expression of their love, so that they can make the feeling of wonder they are experiencing last as long as possible? But no, they feel an attraction, and they have to quickly put an end to it. But what happens then? Even when they marry and have children, they carry on living together out of habit, to respect convention, to make a good impression on their friends and relatives, but inside they have already left each other a long time ago. It is the subtler sensations that sustain love, that prolong life and make it beautiful. That is where the true elixir of eternal life is to be found.
