"Love requires psychological maturity
This is the paradox: only when we stop fighting the fact of our aloneness are we ready for "romantic" love. Because one's manner of understanding his partner is only a reflection of his manner of understanding himself. If a human being is always on the run, always engaged in doing something, he has little or no chance to get to know himself.
I think that was fundamentally the most important teaching of this book! After a slow start the book gets slightly better towards the end. But then, in the end, there's the loathsome claim (in the epilogue), which pretty much sums up the saddening misconception about love: "It is not possible to feel love," the author states... -So, does it make love just another dead dogma, then? Only some social "illusion?"
Personally, I claim one can pretty concretely FEEL love even when thinking honestly about things, devoid of any conditioned bias. And one should not forget that "God is love.""
