To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer….
– Woody Allen
To love me or not is in your control … but for me not to love you is beyond my control
– Umrao Jaan

Love is not to be loved,
Suffering is not the love.
Can love anybody..
It’s my birth right,
It’s your right not to accept,
I love,
Without suffering,
Without she accepting me.
Yet happy I’m.

The meaning of life … is to know suffering. There are two types of love. Universal love and then desire for another. Person, or thing. One sort of love is freeing. The other sort, binding.
God is love and universal.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. ~ Lao Tzu.

We are born to love. We must love and do the best to make our love bring us joy instead of suffering.
