Love Is Not Liking
Love is beyond liking and disliking. It is possible to love someone without liking them. As it is possible to like someone without loving them.
Real love is when you neither like nor dislike, yet are not indifferent.
Liking and disliking give rise to human love. Breaking consciously with this love, or dying to your likes and dislikes, is as painful when it happens as losing everything you have ever loved...
But then love itself floods in.
