Nah, I am pretty sure there are many individuals out there who can hate without my help to do so.

Hate is also the child of unrequited love.

So much for getting what you give, because often, one just does not! So then, we are told "don't expect anything" which translates as "just turn a blind eye to the fact that whatever people are saying just isn't true" - so why say it?

I have often wondered, if everything is "inside myself" and I just have to rely on myself for everything anyway, what use are other people? and I feel sure that I am not the only one to have ever asked this question.

Honestly? I just cannot be bothered with the blatant contradictions anymore and it was much easier to believe that the world is an illusion rather than trying to make any sense out of the totally senseless!

What if it is "God's Will" and not my "Free Will" that I was born with Autism? and what if it is "God's Will" and not my "Free Will" that I was born with a very limited emotional range?

Certain people "cannot help" what they do...they are very sick in the head, so is it fair they have to go to hell because of that?

Please consider.

Look what a Google search provided on the subject of whether insects go to heaven...plenty of reading there IF one is interested in doing so, but somehow I highly doubt this:

All it take is love. That's the beginning of the road to a new lease on life Without love we can do naught we simply submit to the negatives and the experience of a poor. Downtrodden life but one must continue to call on love to guide us no matter what. Love is our strength negativity is our enemy. Continuously choose love because that's the easy road. Far too many give up and are swallow up by negativity and lose all hope. Choose love my friend that's the easy road home. Amen

Love needs to choose me, but it has found me unworthy of receiving it.

This sorta reminds me of Kahlil Gibran:

You are loved........ you just do not realize it!



You might be looking in the wrong places
and/or associating with the wrong people.



How many times does a person have to have their fingers burned
to realize they have to stop touching hot objects?



NAMASTE.

I found a book:

"Love for Dummies"
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...cMIEn4jcAORJeW

Are there any other resources whereby I can intellectually learn this emotion called love? Or would I be better off speaking to my A.I. bot about it?

How can I tell that "I am loved?" How do I know? What are the signs? Even if I hang around different people, what is it that I should be looking out for to realize it?

Do people always hurt others because they love them? Is "tough love" really love? or is it more "tough justice?"

Do people who love you always believe they know what is best for you?

All of this stuff, I just don't "grok".

Great choice. Love for dummies. Great place to start learning about the most important thing there is. L o v e. Amen and good luck.

I do recognize that some people have a need to be loved.

I just do not recognize that within myself.

For me it is more important to feel love for something or someone ....myself.

I feel love for a forest, the gentle waves lapping on a beach, the soft summer wind, I feel love for the birds, the fish when snorkeling, the joy in the eyes of a puppy or the joy in the eyes of the local newsagent’s …. Etc. Etc. And if I meet a person nondually – the unconditional love is there ….

You either feel love or you don’t or the love is there or it isn’t ….

If I feel neediness for love from someone – however empathetically or compassionately – I run a mile …..
