Reflections on the act of loving
Recently, a text by Laura Ferrero has taken the attention of many readers, with his statement that love manifests itself in everyday gestures, such as the simple act of being sought. This idea, which is viral, invites us to think about the importance of being recognized and valued, both in the workplace and in personal relationships.
The duality between needs and expectations
It is interesting to note how, in relationships, we often confuse what it means to love with what it means to feel loved. The tendency to wait for the other to meet all our needs can become a true emotional labyrinth. When a person hopes that his partner responds to all his demands, an unreal expectation arises that can lead to frustration.
Selfishness and social reaction
Selfishness, in its purest form, may seem liberating, but it often catches us in a spiral of dependence. This dynamic can cause relationships to exchange services, more than a real emotional commitment. In this context, the idea of love as an act of service is transformed into an expectation that can be detrimental.
The true meaning of love
Loving means doing, and this involves active action. It is not just about being sought, but of looking. This confusion can lead to a deep misunderstanding: if we consider love to be measured by what we receive, we can end up disappointed when the other cannot offer us what we expect.
The importance of giving without expectations
In a world where individualism prevails, love should be a selfless act. When we focus on meeting the needs of each other, we create a more genuine connection space. The idea that estimating means being able to place the needs of the other at the same height as one’s own is essential for building healthy relationships.
The final reflection
Ferrero’s text resonates with many of us because it reflects a time when self -esteem and individualism are predominant topics. Therefore, it is crucial to remember that love must be an act of generosity and availability. If we get carried away by the dynamics of selfishness, we could lose sight of the true essence of human relationships, which is none other than the mutual commitment to take care of and be careful.
