The word love appears in so many things -- including advertising for soap or songs about fish or whatever else -- that it's hard to accept that this word is without question the most powerful thing in existence.
Why? Why does love matter so much? Because quite simply: all we want to be is loved, and all we want to do is to love.
That's really it.
The millionaire that can't stop making money even though he has enough for 10 lifetimes? He's not "ambitious" or "successful" -- he's just some guy searching desperately for love. He figures that people will love him because of his money, and he figures that he might as well start loving money -- since people can be so unreliable. And so he goes on making more money than he knows what to do with.
He's looking for love; he's yearning to be loved.
When you sit back and try and "desire" what you want -- you would really save yourself a great deal of time and, possibly, of suffering if you really look deeply at what it is that you're after. Do you want a million dollars? Or do you want to be loved?
If you aren't clear and honest with yourself, then guess what: even if you get your million dollars, you'll end up in worse shape then you are today.
It happens all the time. We just don't like to see it :)
