It is sometimes this way, but are response and reaction after whatever has passed has passed, is what we are left with, who we are, as we continue to evolve and change, and hopefully not become more closed off, and put a shell around our heart because we were hurt.
I think Eric described the "other person's point of view" quite well, as well as the problem of obsession and not being able to accept another as they present themselves.
Personally, I have realized, recently, that once the veils of projecting my own inner fears and HOPES onto another are gone, I am able to see a person as they actually wish to present themselves, and from there, perhaps I may have the have chance to see the deeper layers of their self, if they are willing to share them or to open up to them even for their own joy!
People who cause suffering are often caught in a mirage of suffering from their past, and they will inevitably project this onto others, especially those close to them.
Alone, or together with a true soul mate surrounded by other good hearted people, I wish to know myself and be honest and loving to myself and others in whatever way Universe deems useful.
If anyone's actions or intentions are truly destructive, I hope we can love them from afar and wish the growth and a way out of their psychological hell they may be perpetuating for no logical reason...
go with it brother... groove on... it all stems from ourselves... That is where it originates... to show us...to feel....compassion.... empathy... what's real brother... what's from the heart.... move into that magic zone... Love the solidarity with those who care... those who make a difference... we can be the movers... the lovers... when it has dried up... we can go on loving... that's it... you came from my heart's remembrance... to keep the party goin... to keep our love unfolding... that's rite!... a magnet is drawing us in to love's embrace... we can rise above the misplaced love... we can still find the truth... it's just more subtle ... it's like long lost dreams.. seeing wonderful colors again... smelling astral fragrances... it's that tap on the shoulder.. ah that lover is standing behind us... we were just blind to his real meaning...but she is coming... she is back... i can feel it... it is just so ... so different now..
