I read this somewhere and thought it's kinda meaningful, so I'm
sharing it here.
Despite our ecstasy when we are
in love, we spend much of our time with a deep sense of
loneliness, alienation, and frustration over our inability to make
genuinely loving and committed relationships. Usually we blame
other people for failing us; it doesnt occur to us that perhaps it
is we who need to change our own unconscious attitudes the
expectations and demands we impose on our relationships and on
other people.
- Robert A. Johnson, (The psychology of romantic
love)
