Maturity means the combination of courage—to do something—and consideration—to stop doing that when it’s required. Kind of like the gas and brake in a vehicle.“To depend on Love isn’t the same as to depend on a single person to feel that connection towards Love. The more Love that flows through any given relationship, the more love that can flow towards other relationships, in contrast, a lack of Love in a relationship calls us to look out for anything else that could make us feel connected, feel accepted.“Most people aren’t ready for the kind of commitment and dedication required to ‘merge’ in someone else while retaining their individuality, and after a very short time, they feel suffocated and abandon such relationship.“In order to identify when we are receiving this energy from a particular—limited—individual, or when it is coming from Source, the Love that flows from Source is unlimited and increases constantly, whilst the other one needs constant recharge to continue to function. It’s as clear as the difference between sunlight and a torchlight.","author":"Nityananda Das","tags":["connection","consideration","courage","dedication","independence","love","maturity","merging","source","sunlight"],"id":33190,"author_id":"Nityananda+Das"},{"text":"A solitary finger of light fell upon it, illuminating motes of golden dust floating in the air.","author":"Christopher Paolini","tags":["beautiful","description","lovely","sunlight"],"id":36699,"author_id":"Christopher+Paolini"},{"text":"A vast and fiery nuclear furnace launched photons through the reaches of space; they hurtled trillions of kilometers at breakneck speed, then filtered gently into the bedroom as shafts of dawn sunlight.","author":"Anonymous","tags":["science","space","sunlight"],"id":38677,"author_id":"Anonymous"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":102,"pages":11,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
