LOVE IS AWARENESS
To experience love means inserting oneself in the chain of meanings that uphold live. Love is awareness, Thanks to love we become participants in wisdom. We get to know new paths that otherwise would remain unknown. We reach ourselves.
LOVE IS DIGNITY AND WHOLENESS
The love I intend is dignity. It doesn’t take whatever is there nor does it fill interior emptiness with sex, but it has respect for the person and personal uniqueness.
This type of love also brings wholeness. A true love relationship never causes fractures or serious wounds to one’s identity. Rather, it exalts and multiplies it.
LOVE IS CHOICE
The love that I intend is choice. This means not passively accepting what is proposed to us but rather taking an active role, a creative role in the formation of the relationship. It means never taking the easier route, but the one that arrives at the true matrimony of personalities, before that of the body.
MY LOVE IS TRUTH AND PLAN
My love is truth. It does not love subterfuge, compromise, double communications. It is direct, essential. My love is also plan. It is destined to die if it does not enter into a journey, a path of psycho-spiritual growth.
MY LOVE IS DISCOVERING ONSELF
My love is discovering oneself. It’s playing an open hand when the whole world is there teaching us to cover ourselves, protect ourselves and to use almost any means to not expose ourselves, to not get hurt, killed, purchased.
NEW BOOK BY VALERIO ALBISETTI IN ITALIAN PAULINE BOOKSTORES: “HAPPY Despite Everything” (FELICI Nonostante tutto)
Yesterday, April 21, on my birthday, the Paulines released in their bookstores my new book, “HAPPY despite everything” which opens a new book series that I envisioned for them.
This book has a special value for me because it celebrates my 25 years as a writer and 20 years as a book series director.
MY LOVE IS RISK
My love is risk. As I said in my book LOVE (AMORE, published by the Paulines in Italy), it’s a risk of losing oneself in another without getting out, but it’s also the possibility of going beyond oneself in the other and knowing how to get out, together, more vital.
YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO LOVE
On the one hand, people today confuse love with possession, on the other hand they confuse it with the sentimental illusion of perfection and omnipotence, so much as to render love a happy myth: and they live happily ever after. Instead all of this ends up killing love, so much as to make a person say to the other: you don’t know how to love.
TRUTH IN LOVE
Why do people from everywhere tell me that to make a couple work you need to lie and compromise? Why do people affirm that love is like a competition, more like hate than friendship, more like complicity?
On the other hand, daily life often demonstrates that the highest level of neuroses resides in the familial nucleus.
And yet I continue to believe that love has to do with the soul, but above all it is part of the journey. It is essentially based on truth. It is a skill that is learned. It is not free and it is not given as a present.
NOT WANTING TO KNOW YOU HAVE TO DIE
Not wanting to know you have to die is much more widespread than you would think and it moves almost all of the behavior of those who live in this society.
Naturally, I am not giving moral, moralistic or value judgments but as someone who is aware of this, I take note of what I see and feel.
I have the evidence before me.
I also have to say that this way of living, of not wanting to know you will die, is so widely accepted, widespread and shared, that it is considered the norm.
To the contrary for me it is a seriously sick, neurotic, bad and evil.
Totally outside of what I intend as real and human.
