it's been a while since i havent written my emotionally prases ..so its time:)
I just found a nice paragraph in a book of Amos Oz (A tale of Love and Darkness).
So, here it is:
“I’m not such a believer in universal love. Love of everybody for everybody. Love is another thing altogether. It is nothing whatever like generosity and nothing whatever like compassion. On the contrary. Love is a curious mixture of opposites, a blend of extreme selfishness and total devotion. A paradox! Besides which love, everybody is always talking about love, love, but love isn’t something you choose, you catch it, like a disease, you get trapped in it, like in a disaster. So what is it that we do choose? What do human beings have to choose between every minute of the day? Generosity or meanness. Every little child knows that, and yet wickedness still doesn’t come to an end. How can you explain that? It seems we got it all from the apple that we ate back then: we ate a poisoned apple.”
hopefully you wont find the poisoned apple, but the poisoned person who might save you from the poisoned tree, if it makes sense...
