A Jumbled
Perspective On Love
We help
them by giving them our tools, our keys, our strategies for love that we think
could easily work for them. These people
with a jumbled perspective on love simply can't connect the dots. For those with a jumbled perspective on love,
this doesn't help. Like putting together
a large jigsaw puzzle, for those with a jumbled perspective on love, figuring
it out takes time and effort on their part.
They have to slowly put it together.
They have
to work on it. They see people going on
dates, eating dinner, walking hand in hand, being all lovey dovey, and are
unable to see how one relates to another.
What's worse is that we know these people are out there. They can't see one thing leading to another,
leading to another, leading to an idealized goal.
They have
to do it for themselves in order for the jumbled mess to become something
clear, healthy, and, ultimately, beautiful.
We see them struggling in the arena of love. They have to find strategies that work for
them. The way that love is different
from person to person. It changes based
on the relationship we are in, the length of time spent in that relationship,
the person you are with, other people you have been with, other people's
relationships, instability in the world, and so on, and so on, and so on. There is also a growing group of people to
whom love is a jumbled mess. Some people
lack a healthy perspective on love. To
some, love is a long sought after thing.
No one
else can do it for them. Then we try to
help them. Most people with a jumbled
perspective on love have tried figuring out the concept of love using many of
the strategies that other have utilized.
We feel sorry for them because they are struggling while we are
flourishing. These people see love,
either happening to themselves or to the people they observe, and can't make
sense of it. The fact that they still
have the jumbled perspective is proof that those strategies haven't worked for
them.
