Love.  You wait to receive it
from others.  But what if they are
waiting to receive it from you?  What if
you do not give it in the manner they desire? 
Do they stop loving you?  The
truth, in your human world, is oft times yes. 
This is not the love of which we speak. 
Practice unconditional love from the soul.  This is permanent and unchanging.  When you get to the point where this, your
true self, your true nature, flows from every cell, you will no longer feel a
need to get love, for you will know it is you. 
Be that which you are, without conditions, and there find freedom.
