Liking is for cowards. Go for what hurts.

Here's an excerpt from AJ (someone from LD)...


"Anyway, as I was going through my morning readings earlier, I came across an Op-Ed written at the NY Times entitled "Liking is for Cowards. Go for what Hurts." written by Jonanthan Franzen. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/29/opinion/29franzen.html?_r=4&hp&pagewanted=all

I highly suggest that you guys check it out. It's an assessment of how love can truly be experienced in our fast-paced, technology-driven world. During the LD weekend, we are invited to be in-love...and to be truly in-love in an absolute and final way. What I discovered is that love exists in relationships rather than in preference, outside manifestations (i.e. Choncho's inner-outer world dualism) or the idea of being "liked" in the Facebook sense. And being in-love is risking...many times, the greatest risk of our lives. Being left with nothing is a very real possibility...and so we need to leap towards our heart's desires with the possibility of rejection and failure. We jump not because rewards await us, but because only in that leap that we can find our home. "Liking" therefore is for cowards, while Loving, which many times will hurt us, is truly for those who wish to live and to live fully.
