Love is violent

"Romance/Love is a school of life"

is a line from some old Japanese writer 

---

A romantic feeling that we have for the person we're attracted to certainly has this very "violent" aspect; 

"I want him to look at me, just me, only me" 

"I want to be together with her 24/7" 

"I want to get all attentions from him" 

"I want to make her 'mine'" 

..........Love demands everything

---

Being aware of this extremely irrational power in us
Being conscious of this extremely egoistic desire in us,  

And trying to struggle with oneself

Trying to convert "violence" to "un-violence"

Trying to reach the better understandings about oneself, about others, and about life

This must be the lesson.......one of the so many lessons....... that love romance brings us
