Understanding the Person You Want to Love
“We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love.”
–Thich Nhat Hanh (Vietnamese Buddhist Monk, 1926-)
“Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life” (Thich Nhat Hanh)
