"Falling in love is like stumbling into the most magnificent garden, a sanctuary filled with strange and beautiful specimens, dazzling colors, and sweet fragrances. But if that garden is to remain a haven for years to come, it must be given the care that it deserves. To tend it properly, weeds must be picked, invading pests controlled, and nutrients added. Falling in love is a bit of a mystery, and has all the characteristics of a happy accident. Staying in love is far less mysterious, and brings to mind words like effort, honor, patience, tenacity, and commitment!" - Dr. Mardy Grothe

"You cannot make someone love you! All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up up them. [It is wisdom to know that you cannot change another person. Only they can change themselves and even then that is a very challenging task for anyone to overcome the education and habits of a lifetime. Remember choosing well is the key step in human relations because changing the other person is nearly impossible, especially without their enthusiastic consent and dedicated effort. Remember the moral and ethical rule of the Golden Rule of treating others as you would like to be treated in their situation, and so, so long as a person is not physically hurting others, live and let live but not necessarily around you! It is a fool’s errand to ignore this and believe you can change them.]" - H. Jackson Brown

| [Quote No.73294] Need Area: Friends > Love
"Humankind [and individuals within] will proceed toward [compassionate, understanding] perfection when it [and they] feels that humanity is: A limitless sky and a shoreless ocean, an ever-blazing flame, an eternally gleaming light, a wind when it gusts and when it is calm, a cloud when it thunders and lightnings and rains, a stream when it sings or roars, a tree when it blossoms in the spring and disrobes in the autumn, a mountain when it towers, a valley when it descends, and a field when it is fertile or barren!
When humankind [and individuals within] has felt all these things, it [and they] will have reached the midpoint in its path toward [compassionate, understanding] perfection. If it [and they] wishes to arrive at the road to [compassionate, understanding] perfection, it [and they] must, if it [and they] perceives its [and their] own essence, feel that humanity is: An infant relying on its mother, a mature man responsible for his dependents, a youth lost among his desires and passions, an elderly man whose past and future wrestle with one another, a worshiper in his hermitage, a criminal in his cell, a scholar amidst his books and papers, a fool between the black of night and the dark of his day, a nun among the flowers of her faith and the thorns of her loneliness, a prostitute between the talons of her weakness and the claws of her neediness, the indigent between his bitterness and complaisance, the rich man between his ambitions and his submission, the poet between the fog of his evenings and the rays of his dawns!
Should humankind [and individuals within] prove able to experience and know all these things, it [and they] will arrive at perfection and become one shadow among the shadows of Gods!
" - Kahlil Gibran
(1883 - 1931), Gibran Khalil Gibran, usually referred to in English as Kahlil Gibran, was a Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist; he was also considered a philosopher, although he himself rejected the title.

| [Quote No.73318] Need Area: Friends > Love
"[Sense perceptions, thoughts and corresponding emotions and how they influence human relationships, especially those we love:] Emotions possess the evanescence of a musical note. When a pianist strikes a key, a hammer collides with the matching string inside his instrument and sets it to vibrating at its characteristic frequency. As amplitude of vibration declines, the sound falls off and dies away. Emotions operate in an analogous way: an event touches a responsive key, an internal feeling-tone is sounded, and it soon dwindles into silence. (The figures of speech ‘pluck at one’s heartstrings’ and ‘strikes a chord in me’ have found a home in our language for just this reason.) Rising activity in the emotion circuits produces not sound, but (among other things) a facial expression. When the neural excitation exceeds a shadowy threshold of awareness, what emerges is a feeling — the conscious experience of emotional activation. As neural activity diminishes, feeling intensity decreases, but some residual activity persists in those circuits after a feeling is no longer perceptible. Like the ghost of Hamlet’s father, an emotion appears suddenly in the drama of our lives to nudge the players in the proper direction, and then dissolves into nothingness, leaving behind a vague impression of its former presence.
Moods exist because of the musical aspect of an emotion’s neural activity, the lower portion imperceptible to our conscious ears... A mood is a state of enhanced readiness to experience a certain emotion. Where an emotion is a single note, clearly struck, hanging for a moment in the still air, a mood is the extended, nearly inaudible echo that follows. Consciousness registers a fading level of activation in the emotion circuits faintly or not at all. And so the provocative events of the day may leave us with emotional responsiveness waiting beneath our notice... Since the neural activation that creates a given emotion decreases gradually, provoking it again is easier within the window of the mood.
A musical tone makes physical objects vibrate at its frequency, the phenomenon of sympathetic reverberation. A soprano breaks a wineglass with the right note as she makes unbending glass quiver along with her voice. Emotional tones in the brain establish a living harmony with the past in a similar way. The brain is not composed of string, and there are no oscillating fibers within the cranium. But in the nervous system, information echoes down the filaments that join harmonious neural networks. When an emotional chord is struck, it stirs to life past memories of the same feeling.
...
A particular emotion revives all memories of its prior instantiations. Every feeling (after the first) is a multilayered experience, only partly reflecting the present, sensory world.
Because human beings remember with neurons, we are disposed to see more of what we have already seen, hear anew what we have heard most often, think just what we have always thought. Our minds are burdened by an informational inertia whose headlong course is not easy to slow... No individual can think his way around his own Attractors [= pre-conditioned patterns of interpretation of incoming sensory data, densely networked and deeply ingrained in the limbic brain, activated so reflexively and powerfully that they can obscure and overwhelm the raw signal of reality], since they are embedded in the structure of thought... Because limbic resonance and regulation join human minds together in a continuous exchange of influential signals, every brain is part of a local network that shares information — including Attractors.
...
Through the limbic transmission of an Attractor’s influence, one person can lure others into his emotional virtuality. All of us, when we engage in relatedness, fall under the gravitational influence of another’s emotional world, at the same time that we are bending his emotional mind with ours. Each relationship is a binary star, a burning flux of exchanged force fields, the deep and ancient influences emanating and felt, felt and emanating.
In a relationship, one mind revises another; one heart changes its partner. This astounding legacy of our combined status as mammals and neural beings is limbic revision: the power to remodel the emotional parts of the people we love, as our Attractors activate certain limbic pathways, and the brain’s inexorable memory mechanism reinforces them. Who we are and who we become depends, in part, on whom we love.
" - Thomas Lewis, Fari Amini, and Richard Lannon
Psychiatrists and authors. This quote is from their book, ‘A General Theory of Love’.
