CHAPTER III. TO BE LOVED. "I desire to attract love from the Infinite or somewhere, that I may not be starved for it, as I have been ever since I married. My husband sneers at the New Thought, and in fact at nearly all that is best in me." Caroline. And yet this woman has children to love her. She thinks she is in need of being loved; but what she really needs is _to love_. Being loved is the _effect_ of loving. A loving man or woman can never want for love. Others turn to them in love as naturally as flowers turn to the sun. In order to be loved you must _radiate_ love. Instead of trying to attract the love of others, seek to _give_ your love to others, _expecting nothing in return_. After a time you will find the unexpected coming to you spontaneously. Learn to love by loving _all_ people and _things_, and especially all things you find to do. This same Caroline wants to "rise above drudgery." What _is_ drudgery? |
