You depend on her; she has given you her body, her emotions, her encouragement, a certain feeling of security and well-being. Then she turns away from you; she gets bored or goes off with someone else, and your whole emotional balance is destroyed, and this disturbance, which you don’t like, is called jealousy. There is pain in it, anxiety, hate and violence. So what you are really saying is, ‘As long as you belong to me I love you but the moment you don’t I begin to hate you.","author":"Jiddu Krishnamurti","tags":["hate","jealousy","love"],"id":37955,"author_id":"Jiddu+Krishnamurti"},{"text":"Virtue can flower only when there is freedom.","author":"Jiddu Krishnamurti","tags":["freedom","freedom-from-the-known","jiddu-krishnamurti","love","virtue"],"id":40700,"author_id":"Jiddu+Krishnamurti"},{"text":"Seeing everything that goes on in your daily life, your daily activities - when you pick up a pen, when you talk, when you go out for a drive or when you are walking alone in the woods - can you with one breath, with one look, know yourself very simply as you are?

To do this you must be tremendously honest with yourself throughout your being.","author":"Jiddu Krishnamurti","tags":["freedom","jiddu-krishnamurti","meditation"],"id":44960,"author_id":"Jiddu+Krishnamurti"},{"text":"But what is the point of education at all?
