"Love is giving something you don't have to someone that doesn't exist."
I have never thought of love like this and instead of rejecting this I was curious as to what was meant by it. Our projections of love and anything else can make things so complicated.
The speaker who used this quote went on to say, "we can not be the end of seeking for another person and they can't be the end of our seeking. Sometimes implicit in the love is that you are the end of my seeking." We're not talking about seeking another partner. We are talking about seeking something else inside of ourselves that we tend to stop looking for and mistakenly believe our partner has filled that void. The truth is our partners have their own seeking too. They aren't just a main character in our story they have their own story to play out. Understanding that, giving each other space to seek within ourselves that maybe what love is really.
