What is love?  This question can be asked so many ways about extraordinary lives. 

Today I want to focus on the freedom of love.  I'll keep it short.  For real love to exist, you must be able to allow the person you love to be free.  

The old saying, "If you love someone, set them free. If they come back to you, they are yours forever, but if they don't they were never yours" is just part of my point. 

There is no control, or jealousy.   Why?  Because if you love someone you don't just set them free before they commit to you... you set them free during that commitment.  When I was married, I never felt an ounce of concern for where my wife was, and hardly any concern for whom she was with.   While love also means you have the self esteem to exist outside your wife or husband... the act of love has this important component.  The ability to allow the person you love to be free without constraint.   

It's a paradox really.  When you love someone you commit; yet you are free.  Both of you are free.   It's like an invisible link between you.  If you really love someone and they love you, there just isn't any worry about losing them.   While not every love last forever, there is no doubt when you are in love, you should feel this way.  Be lucky in love my friends.
