When your heart is open, your ego steps in to warn you: "This is dangerous." "You're going to get hurt." "Watch out." The ego conjures all manner of reasons to fortify fears.
With the ego's aid, you can build a case against anyone, including the one you love, in order to justify what you want and how you're behaving, but your heart will know better. Your heart will know the truth. You can point an accusing finger. You can blame the one you love, but you won't feel good. You may feel justified, but you won't feel good.
Loving isn't just a feeling; it's a practice. It's not just a gift, it's a discipline.
It's easy to build a case against anyone. Why would you want to build a case against your partner in life?
Make choices from your higher values. The heart wants to love even when it's hurt.
