Real love is never a selfish emotion.
If you want something from someone -

Nonetheless, the litmus test of love is knowing
we would choose never to see that person again
if we believed that distance would bring them greater happiness.

See life clearly - no rose colored glasses -

be forgiving of everyone and of every act
we believe has hurt us.
Life just "IS."
We get to CHOOSE our relationship with life.

lies in living in the moment -
enjoying what you are doing today.

just a choice.
