One of the most profound and beloved books of mine is Richard Bach's Running From Safety. The premise of this piece of literature is the following concept: "If the child-we-were asked for the best we've learned from living, what would we tell, and what would we discover in return? And, one of Mr. Bach's maxims for life that I most resonate with is: 'Shop for security over happiness and we buy it at that price.'"
Applying this to issues of love and romance, how would you answer? What are the underlying truths you've learned (either pleasantly over the years or through painful lessons)? What have you come to believe within your experiences? How do we learn to love and how can we get the most out of romantic relationships? Is love a mystery needing to be solved? Can it ever truly be known or understood fully? What are your top love truths or maxims?
For instance, when pondering the question of whether a person is better off single or in a relationship, Drew Barrymore, in an interview with "Jane" Magazine, responded, "I think you can have both...you can be with somebody but still remain yourself and have a sense of your independence. It can be very damaging if you don't have a sense of your own world that you can go into every day. But a relationship can be sensual without being sexual. What I mean when I say 'sensual' is soft and gentle and kind and patient and nurturing."
