Emotions

July 10, 2014

When two people are in love, they tend to show only the best aspects of their nature and character to each other in order to project a good impression of themselves. Love is said to be blind and hence people in love tend to become completely oblivious of the darker side of each other's natures.

In practice, each will try to highlight his or her sterling qualities to the other, and being so engrossed in love, they tend to accept each other at "face value" only. Each lover will not disclose the darker side of his or her nature for fear of losing the other. Any personal shortcomings are discreetly swept under the carpet, so to speak, so as not to jeopardize their chances of winning each other. People in love also tend to ignore their partner's faults thinking that they will be able to correct them after marriage, or that they can live with these faults, that "love will conquer all."

However, after marriage, as the initial romantic mood wears off, the true nature of each other's character will be revealed. Then, much to the disappointment of both parties, the proverbial veil that had so far been concealing the innermost feelings of each partner is removed to expose the true nature of both partners. It is then that disillusion sets in.

    Love will conquer many hearts, but then totally obliterate those that become so willing to quit. Which are you conquer or quit?

    Man is the composition of good and bad as just as we have two hands left and right and the love or an attraction for each other between two persons makes them blind. It is better to know left and right sides of each other for a lifetime adjustment before marriage . Have a peaceful night Jendhamuni sos.

    In maximum cases it is true mostly  worldly marriages stand because they think there should be one companion require to run the life but the heart and soul feelings are missing they work on give and take  concept,or u can say  on  compromises or adjustments .Everybody has egos,self insecurites ,differences  which they are not able to resolve whole life and other issues .I am not saying there cann't be  good comapnionship,some companionships are very good but they are on  unselfishness,unconditional,unpretending and overall very good understanding and making that chemistry needs two selfless persons.

    Hello Ms. Jendhamuni how are you,
    Excuse me about the picture i can't load in and also I haven't use the romantic word because I never have the love so never use the love work, if you want to know something each other you can meet and discus the face to face together as like friendship.

    Hi jen your thoughts are beauty full , the flowers appear on the earth ; the time of singing has come , and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land ,O my dove , in the Clift's of the rock , in the secret places of the cliff, let me see your face , let me hear your voice ; for your voice is sweet , and your face is lovely "Behold , you are fair , my love ! Behold , you are fair ! You have dove"s eyes behind your veil, your hair is like a flock of goats , going down from mount Gilead, your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep which have come up from the washing , every one of which bears twins , and none is barren among them ,,,, don't get me started ,,,,,,ur really really beauty full from all the side , heart ,mind , soul ,perfect ,,,,,

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

A Handful of Leaves

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.
