We Need More Than Love

By Raine Grant

In 1967, John Lennon wrote a hit single called ‘All You Need is Love.’ In addition to that, he beat up two of his wives, abused his Jewish manager verbally and even abandoned one of his children. Three and a half decades later, Trent Neznor wrote a hit single called ‘Love is not enough’s and went on to give a lot of things including cancelling tours and shows to be a better husband and father to his family. As you can see, there is a great deal of difference between the two – one of them has a clear understanding of what love is and the other has no clue. The modern culture is one where many people idealize love and as such, they end up getting a lot of things wrong including neglecting their loved ones.

Much as we like it to be true, love is not enough to solve our relationship problems. The idea of loving someone is great on some level but on the practical side of things, it cannot help you deal with the real issues at hand. It can lead to a really ugly emotional roller coaster and it’s important to understand that in addition to love, the relationships you build with others should also be based on a stable and practical foundation.

Love is an emotional process and this also makes it a delicate one. You have to surround yourself with people who love you too otherwise, you risk falling apart emotionally. This means surrounding yourself with people you are compatible with too. The fact that compatibility is a logical makes it all the more difficult. But it is part of finding love that’s proper and appropriate for you. Proper love for you is love that respects you, treats you right, and doesn’t make you feel worse about yourself despite yourself.

But finding the right love for you also means not being negative. It also means returning the favor and doing everything you expect to be done to you. It is a two way street. It’s a process that involves finding the balance between emotion and logic. To get where you want to be, you need to start working on the above and stop idealizing love as it can lead to unrealistic expectations which can ruin relationships with people who truly love you. There are a number of energy healing modalities that can help guide you towards finding love by bringing you new awareness and clearing inappropriate emotions.
