About This Quote
When people begin to love, they tend to think of it as a feeling. When they begin to love someone, they imagine how it will make them feel. When a person falls in love, they imagine how it will make them look and feel. However, the ego doesn’t care about feelings.
It cares about what you can do for yourself. The ego wants things done for you. It wants you to be happy and it wants you to be safe.
It wants you to love other people and it wants you to be able to provide for other people without having to worry about whether or not you need money, food, or shelter.
