Unrequited Love

Hello friends,
I cam across this question about unrequited love on Deepak Chopra's blog.
"If love is the only reality and the biggest priority, what do I do with unrequited love?  I have been let go by someone I loved deeply and wanted to share a life with. Now I am overcome with grief and am finding it difficult to move on."

Here is my response:
Love is the only reality and the biggest priority, so when your love is unrequited, then it means that your love deserves a person, who would understand it and reciprocate it.
I have been on the receiving end, and I know, how painful, and heart wrenching it can be
We need to accept that, our love is unrequited, and the person, whom we want, would not come back into our lives. As long as we think he/she might come back into our live,it's difficult for us to move on. He or she is probably happy with someone else and we should be happy for them. It's better that they be happy with someone else , than be miserable with us.Love is about wanting what's best for the person you love, not what's best for you.
While going through this painful experience,it's normal to feel that , there is something lacking in us and think negatively. I know, our self image takes a beating , when a person, whom we love rejects us. But we need to stay positive, and continue to love ourselves for what we are.
Keep yourself busy in things that you love to do.Indulge yourself in your hobbies and develop new ones. Meet people, whom you haven't met in a while.
You might think, why you had to meet this person, if you were never meant to be together. At those times, remember that life is always plays fair, and we are mere puppets.
We only know about our past and our present, but life knows all.
Every life experience merely prepares us for the next experience in our future. You never know, who might come knocking at your door, one fine morning..with a heart full of love :).Make sure you are ready for it :)

Stay blessed

Friends, let me know what do you feel about unrequited love, and how did you overcome unrequited love,if you have ever been in that situation

Love , Love Me Do

Since the past few weeks , I have been running into into questions from lovers, about unrequited love. The questions usually go like this.. “We were so much in love!When we were together, we were really happy..enjoying the bliss of pure love. and now he/she has left me, to be with someone else.I now feel worthless and incomplete without him/her. I am going into depression day by day..I just want my love back in my life. I keep thinking about him/her through out the day and my tears dry up only when I go to sleep..pls help.. I don’t wish to be so miserable.Pls take my pain away”

Power of Giving

One of the reasons I feel that people want others to change is that they are always thinking what am I getting out of it. They are always tuning into the WII FM station (What’s in it for me).

Now that I am thinking more and more about it, it is clear that it is coming from a feeling of lack inside them. So they are trying to change their external environment to suit the internal mental state. But this negative flow of energy of lack creates more lack and it becomes a vicious circle.

Let's Love

I was just browsing on the net on topics on love, real love etc.That's when I cam across this site, which is dedicated to unconditonal love. How wonderful is that!
The amazing thing is, that it defines what I personally find undefinable. The usual definitions of real love, talk about what love is not, but this one actually nails the topic, by talking about it.

I liked a particular quote in the section why unconditonal love?
"It requires practice and intent to allow this energy to fully permeate our daily experience. It begins with ourselves, for without self-love, we cannot know what true love can be."
