Seek love within, not without. We all want love. But the question is, “Is love greedy?” Maybe no, maybe yes. I don’t know the answer. But according to Pope Benedict XV1, “Love is not greedy or self-seeking, but pure, faithful and genuinely free, open to others, respectful of their dignity, seeking their good, radiating joy and beauty.” That is what love is all about.

Real love is not greedy, but selfless. Love is not greedy. Love is not self-seeking. Love is pure. Love is faithful. Love is free. Love is open to all. And love is beautiful. And according to Maya Angelou, “Love costs all we are and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free.” Yes, love is freedom. So if you want to be free, practice love.

“Love costs all we are and will ever be. Yet it is love that sets us free.”-

Love Is Freedom

Love is freedom. To love people is to give people freedom to live their lives.

Love cannot exist without freedom. Love is giving freedom to yourself, to other people.

Love is not taking freedom away from people. It is giving them freedom to fail, to love themselves, to make their own mistakes, to take their own risks.

Where there is no freedom, their is no love. Because love cannot exist where there is no freedom. So if you want to love yourself, give yourself freedom to love yourself. If you want other people to really show you true love, do not control them.

Love is not about control. Love is about losing control. In the words of Paulo Coelho, “To love is to lose control.” If you cannot lose control, you cannot love. Because love is not about control. It is about freedom.
