---->Is
it LOVE or merely ADRENALINE?<----
Adrenaline
-You feel that your happiness or unhappiness
rests solely on another person. That's merely dependency and attachment.
-You feel you can't live without this person.
-You look to the person for fulfilment and satisfaction in life.
-You feel you are at the mercy of your feelings and passions and just
can't control them.
These are all addictive, confusional states, which inevitably result
in anger, unhappiness and resentment of the other person.
Love
-Feeling deep respect for the other person, a feeling that you have
their welfare and well-being at heart.
-You hardly think about the other person at all, but are simply projecting
your own fantasies and wish fulfilments on to this person.
-Seperateness, a feeling that each of you have a strong identity,
and even though you may enjoy being together, you are perfectly happy
apart.
-You don't see that person as part of yourself, but as a functioning
person in his/her own right.
-You wish to set them free.
