About
"human" and "divine" love Love means to respect the other. Love without respect is a possessive love, which takes over the other,
robs him of his freedom and dignity. Respecting the other means taking the other seriously. Love that does not take the
other seriously, is a love that wants to keep
the other in a one-sided dependence. Taking the other seriously means listening to him. Love that does not listen is a love that unconsciously despises the
other. Listening to the other means listening to his opinion and experiences
and trying to understand him. A love that does not seek to understand is a love that places itself
above the other. To seek to understand the other means to let him have his say in
things that affect both sides. A love that does not let others have their say is a love that seeks to
keep the other in immaturity. To let the other have his say means to let the other have his say. A love that does not let the other have a say in things that also
concern him or all, means not to accept him as a "child of God”. Therefore divine love means letting the other
co-decide. Manfred Hanglberger (www.hanglberger-manfred.de) Link to share: https://hanglberger-manfred.de/en-divine-love.htm |
