Real love is considerate but has no concern.If you really love a man, you'll be considerate of his 'true need' but you won't show un-necessary concern for his foolish, stupid fantasies.'Consideration' means you will see that this isn't a real need but an 'ego need', you won't fulfill it.

Life is a constant ecstasy, moment to moment you can enjoy it but if you start thinking of results you miss enjoying it, your roots are uprooted, you are no longer in it, you have become an outsider. And then you will ask for the meaning, for the purpose.

They happen only when you are distant,aloof. They happen, they cannot be brought. They happen you cannot force them to happen. They are spontaneous happenings.
