This is an excellent example of the kind of inner yearning we have been discussing with you and one most can relate to because love is such a strong imperative, especially when coupled with the inner passions of the physical body wanting an intimate relationship with a member of the opposite sex. That is a powerful motivation for inner yearning. There is nothing more delightful and satisfying than to fall in love deeply and have that love returned by the object of your affections. That is the closest to a state of perfection attainable by a physical human being with another, to live lives together as a couple and be deliriously happy with the arrangement. Even when that is not achieved but something very rewarding, to lose it will be tragic and the contrast between having those heights of love satisfied, and then to have all hope dashed of it continuing, through a breakup of the relationship, can be quite devastating and even drive some to suicide because the loss becomes so overwhelming. So it is the fact that a close intimate love relationship is the epitome of the heart fulfilled, that any loss of a love relationship will be so painful, and some will never recover unless a new relationship is kindled that can eventually grow to be as rewarding or even more so than the prior failed one. We have talked to you a number of times about how love is the currency of the universe and the purpose of existence—it is for the giving and receipt of love! "Love makes the world go round," as the saying goes, and it is true for the universe as well. The more love you have coming to you, the more you can give to others, and the more love that is shared back and forth, and among human beings, the better existence will become and the more satisfying and rewarding your world will be and all within it who can at least take part and share the bounty. What keeps you away from love is a problem, by definition, because love is the object, love is the goal, love is the standard, and love is the measure of the inherent worth of anything and everything. Love has many flavors and dimensions but ultimately everything can be translated into presence or absence of love, to some degree or another, if only in comparison or contrast with something else. So love relationships by intimate partners are the keenest and most intense expressions of love that most people can experience if they use care in choosing the right partner. There are other kinds of love as well, so the subject is more vast than embraceable by romantic love alone, but you are primed to seek the latter, especially with a coming of age and maturation, because it is a hormonal imperative as well as an emotional, mental, and spiritual one.
