Seeking revenge used to be my way. If I met an evil being I would fight and curse them. I learned over time that love was the way in. I think every being wants to be loved and secretly seeks that. Now when I meet someone bad who does wrong I seek to teach them a lesson. I have given them the same treatment that they had given and let them see how it feels. I show them that being treated wrongly is wrong in itself. I make them feel sadness for causing another living being hardship. I show them just how sacred life is.
You are right we often mistake lust and infatuation with love. In a way it is a form of love for we love pleasure, and beauty, and we love being treated as if we are important to another. However it is different then loving a person for who they are inside. Often lust and infatuation turn into genuine love given the chance.
I think it boils down to knowledge. Love can be created with the right outlook, or perception. Many say I dont love people who are such and such etc. They set their intent, their mind, their belief to love a certain way. Then when they meet this criteria they fall in love. Careful observation shows that love is formed in many ways, and can be carefully controlled.
I wanted, and still want, to help save the world. I started out being free and seeking the right decision to harness and form the outcome of that freedom. I sought righteousness. I sought to be the best person I could be. I went out and cured diseases and help my fellow man because indeed I was self -important. Over time I came to realize and understand suffering. I suffered myself and understood, thru suffering, that I wanted to help people live healthy, and have well being. I started out seeking to be the best i could be, and that was good. I wanted to be loved in God's eyes. However it wasnt totally pure. Now I understand suffering, and illness, and seek to help people based from love and not power.
