Remember Mindfulness – close eyes briefly

Love

Romantic love is a fine thing, especially at the movies, but love is not about dependence: ‘I can’t live without you’ amounts to codependency. Love is essentially what you do for another person. It is an activity, not a feeling. That is what makes it so powerful – if we all have love in our hearts, we are actively working to help each other. Morgan Scott Peck, author of The Road Less Travelled, said exactly this. It came as a shock to some people. Do I understand that real love is unselfish?

Step Eight is about brotherly love. It is the time when we stop focusing on ourselves and look at the damage we have done to others and what we can do about it. Making amends is about honesty, courage, forgiveness – and love. It is asking myself: What can I do for this other person that I have hurt? It does not matter how painful it is to make amends, we have to be rigorously honest in all our affairs. The truth will set us free, though it may hurt a bit too. If we are going to truly love ourselves and our fellow human beings, we must take this Step in courage and humility. Today I ask to show true love.
