Everything gets broken..........

We should just love, not fall in love,

 because everything that falls gets broken.

What is falling in love... 

A lot of things are inherent in life -change, birth, death, aging, illness, accidents, calamities, and losses of all kinds-

 but these events don't have to be the cause of ongoing suffering.

 Yes, these events cause grief and sadness, but grief and sadness pass, like everything else, and are replaced with other experiences. 

The ego, however, clings to negative thoughts and feelings and, as a result, magnifies, intensifies, and sustains those emotions while the ego overlooks the subtle feelings of joy, gratitude, excitement, adventure, love, and peace that come from Essence.

 If we dwelt on these positive states as much as we generally dwell on our negative thoughts and painful emotions, our lives would be transformed.

It's all relative in the end........
