Love, Love Me Do

"Intead of simply experiencing love, being love, our narrators explain how love should feel: what makes us worthy of love; who should love us and how they should express it; what we need to do or achieve to love ourselves, and what others need to do to receive our love in return."

 

Seek to love rather than be loved.     

"When we begin to believe society's analysis of what love should be and we become attached to that belief, we begin to impose it on ourselves and others, thus creating a distorted reflection of love.  What has really happened is that we have just made love conditional."

Love people for who they are and not who you want them to be.

Sometimes I see people at meetings looking at their phone.  That's there business, I guess.  I don't do it and they're not asking me if it's a good idea if they should do it so my example is all I can offer.  I read about the results of a study done that tried to quantify how effective multi-tasking is.  The technique was to ask the subject to read while simultaneously listening to someone speak through head phones, and then to test them to see how well they absorbed both sources of information.  Unsurprisingly, they did a shitty job remembering the information coming from either source.
