THREAD: I've been a Theravada Buddhist for over 20 years. While it's my religion, it's only sometimes that I deeply appreciate that it's also my lens. Watching #lucabeth & thinking about true love is one example. #Hearties @krbisme05 @blackredrose70 @blancef @Shayhooray1
In Buddhism, (Buddha-Dharma), there are four elements that must be present for true love to exist between two people, whether romantic or not. The 1st is maitri (loving-kindness). This is the capacity to help your partner to be happy. But at the same time, you are also happy.
With maitri, as with all the four elements, if you have the capacity to offer happiness to you parter (meaning you make them happy) but your partner doesn't have the capacity to offer happiness to you, then true love does not exist between you (especially in a romance).
