Is it a good idea not to love others too much?
Where does the "love of others" fit into the scheme of things? From personal experience I have found that one can actually lose themselves if they love others too much. Has anyone else found this?
I loved others, but the deal breaker was that I forgot myself. I got lost. I know lots of other people who are the same. Somehow loving others can lose you and initiate you to forget yourself.
One needs to remain centred.

Romantic love or love in general?
I want to get lost :-D
Hopefully I will think of something more profound in a bit. :-)

I think the ego does diminish yes, that feels like the losing the You in oneself. But I don't believe our true self is the ego. Love isn't part of the ego. If someone takes advantage or hurts the other then it isn't really love IMO.

If you forget yourself while loving another/others then that is not love, that's an obsession. |

I think you have to balance self-love with others-love. Right now I am working on it too.

Not good to even drink water TOO much!
And human love is fraught with mind fields...my gosh, my sister is a mess since
her soulmate died after 48 yrs of marriage, future plans of a great retirement together vanishing into thin air...
after a life of total service with teens and awards galore, why, even Oprah gave them $$....and now.. so?
Where did it all go?
She relied on him..he was her happiness....way to build a house on sifting sands, eh?
Be in love with Love Itself...not a person, per se....people die...Love and the Divine never do!

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

@MissHepburn Wonder if your sister would give up those 48 years to not feel the way she does now?

The trick is to love without attachment. Not that I've mastered this :-)
