Quote of the Day

By Paulo Coelho

Love is only a small thing,
enough for one person,
and any suggestion that
the hearth might be larger
than this is considered perverse.

Depends on what you consider small and enough ,I think the small amount most people use yes ..but there are others who can love more and use it in a good way ..our Psyche is so huge that we can not comprehend it at all if most people knew how much they affected the universe and others they would not walk out there front door ..its so precise ..
Love is all you need ..u know the song . I rest my case ..blessings Tania

This comment needs more because I am currently thinking that you are having a bad day, maybe with an loved one. Fortunately, we’re all entitled to our feelings. However, I believe that God is Love and God is infinite. He, His love, thus Love, expands from the beginning to the end. It is boundless so it can not be small. We are more than we think and sometimes our limitations limit us.

The hearth is where the Great Work commences, just as the heart is the foundry of the Soul.

Love is unconditional and so it is associated with pain most of the time, and that’s something humans never get enough of.

if love is only a small thing,
enough for one person,
then sharing it would be a selfless act.
and if the desire to attain more
is considered perverse,
then so be it.
after all, what is man,
if he has not, for even once in his life,
thought of a single selfish desire?

Love is. HUGH. Regardless. The amount.
How many does it requiers to not make it. Small?

What is love if not…the Universe?
What is heart if not…the heart of God?
