“You know it’s love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you’re not part of their happiness.” (Julia Roberts)
What Julia Roberts is teaching us is that true love is unselfish and never self-serving. All of us have different definitions of love. I think sexual or passionate love is what most people would describe as love. There’s also the love of parent and child and “philia” which is friendship or shared goodwill.
Then, there always is self-love which can be healthy or unhealthy. This form of love can be dangerous when it places self-interest above the common good.
Regardless of which kind of love pertains in your life, you will always be content with yourself if you have the happiness of others as your greatest yearning!
