"Nothing is more beautiful than true love.

In true love we don't make each other worry,

suffer, or get angry. On the contrary,

we have the ability to offer joy and reduce

suffering in our loved one.

Because of understanding, we know how to

love, and we don't rob the joy, the appreciation,

the inspiration of our loved one; we don't force

our loved one to think like we think, to act like

we act, to like the things that we like,

but we let our loved one maintain himself.

In true love there is no discrimination.

In true love we always think of ways to help

our loved one to carry out their dream, their

aspiration. And the other person will equally

support us in that way. Our love will not be

limited or prohibited by any religion or theology.

When we have happiness in our love, we have the

ability to create happiness for other people.

That love can be developed to embrace all human

beings, it can keep growing endlessly so that

one day it can embrace the whole universe.

In Buddhism this love is called love without

boundaries." ~Thich Nhat Hanh~
