Can Love And Freedom Co-Exist (Exist Together)

Is it possible to love each other and be free at the same time? Yes. To
reach this state in a relationship great wisdom is required. Most people
love one another and tie one another down. Thus they lose their freedom.
When freedom is lost, happiness goes away, and true wellbeing gives way to
unhappiness. Often we look above all for love, a love we believe will change
our life. We see it as the recognition of our inner value by another person.
However, we trip over ourselves in looking for this love. Necessity is what
motivates us and we try to satisfy it with an object or person who matches
up to perfection.

We have an immense emotional need for love, and the fear of remaining in a
state of unsatisfied wanting. In our search to fill our need, we are
prepared to deceive ourselves with unsuitable partners. Many people allow
the love of another person to define their personality to such a point that,
if they are rejected, they lose any sense of who they are and of the purpose
they have in life. Often the relationship is colored, through one of the
partners or both, by fear.

To free ourselves of the tendency to depend, we should have a strong heart,
without any selfishness; a heart that has nothing to hide and that, as a
result, is free and without fear; a heart that does not hold on to closed
beliefs, to old negative experiences; a heart that has good feelings and is
free of bitterness; a heart filled with the true values of peace, love,
freedom and solidarity – which as a result is stronger and fuller.
