Should People Take Interest in Us? - (1074)

Introduction

We may feel hurt or sad or like we are missing something or losing something when another person does not pay interest to us.

Obviously in such a situation we are wanting that person to take an interest in us, and part of the reason why we feel so upset is because of this expectation.


Reality Says they Don’t

We can’t say that people should be interested in us. People should only be doing what they are doing. We associate people not being interested in us as not loving us or not wanting us to be important in their lives. With this thought we feel very sad etc.


Can be Overcome

But if we generate our love for our Being we can overcome that.

We can overcome it because when we generate love for the being we are filling a gap in ourselves. When we generate love we are generating love from within our core, what happens with the ego of self-love is that it is made redundant because we are generating the same love for ourselves or our Being as self-love does. Self-love generates love for ourselves but based on others loving us or liking us, and when others don’t love us the ego of self-love does the opposite generates feelings of self-debasement or self-loathing etc.

However, the way we are generating love differs, this way of generating love comes from within us independent of any other factor, though with self-love we generate love dependent on others loving us. We always only generate ourselves the love that we feel for another person or for our Real Being or ourselves. The trick is how it is generated.


Conclusion

The love we feel for our Being is independent of others. We are not losing love, because we have it in our heart and consciousness and furthermore our Being is made up of it.
