If you love two people at the same time, choose the second one.
Because if you really loved the first one, you would not have fallen for the second.

Oh and the other thing - and there is always another thing - is he saying that it is impossible for a woman to love two Men , or a Man to love two Women equally at the same time? If he is then I'd say there should be no such thing as a large proportion of affairs that have occured.
That should get you all thinking? Well some of you. Well may be a few. Or perhaps one or two.:closed:
I think the crux lies in 'because if you REALLY loved the first one...' I don't think it is a contradiction at all...

Do you think it is possible that the young Dalai Lama read Aesop's Fables? Wasn't it Aesop who wrote;
'' Be careful what you wish for it might just come true ''.
Essentially the same idea.
I would not put it past him GUB... They are very similar to the Jataka Tales...
I have to disagree though, it isn't essentially the same idea...

Given her particular religeous beliefs and her life's work, this observation appears almost out of place.
She must have been on about God's love... that certainly hurts...

Because I am trying to become a Grandmaster I am on a fast track posting mission, so we have two quotes today...
“People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh
'There's many a slip twixt cup and a lip.'
Billy The Kid.
“People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh
So very true. Must stop now, just walking out the door.
"The soul would have no rainbow if the eye had no tears"
Yes meaning you didn't actually love the first one which disqualifies the first part of the quote and makes it contradict the second part.Quote:

It is very painful to realise you cannot help...
I was in the office at 10:30 pm yesterday and back by 06:15 am this morning pondering on the help I clearly need and, for all that I am no Catholic, this did resonate for me:
''I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.''
Again from Mother Teresa, whose philosophy is beginning to make a lot of sence to me lately.

Philosophy is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat.
Methaphysics is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn't there...
Theology is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn't there but shouting: 'I found it!'
Science is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat using a torch.

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
