Creating together

  Serbian  

Anticipating the perfect outcome of love has left us disillusioned. Our expectations have been disregarded. We are waiting for the perfect person, career, trip, life in general and this leads us to a disease called love deficit, and the side effect is egocentrism. Egocentrism kills the love of co-creation.  We have fallen ill by taking shortcuts to fulfill our imagined list of unmet dreams. We aim for perfection in our desires, but instead, we should aim for the "perfect" moment and recognize that unforgettable instant as we create together. Deficit of love is a disease of today's society. Patience has been forgotten and understanding is dormant

When we build a house together using stone, when we create a home together around a hearth, when we nurture our potential with a shared aspiration to improve. When we harness our determination to progress, we share everything; when we bake bread from a grain of wheat and plant a tree from a branch that we cultivate together, and then we gather its fruits together. We then further pave the way for our children, teaching them not to trade themselves for love, not to purchase it, but to learn to cultivate it together with someone.

The love formed in this manner will endure even if a wall of the house falls, the hearth's fire goes out, the harvest fails from drought, and the tree skips bearing fruit the next year.

It won't, because once we learn how to do together, we'll have the will to hold the hand that created that love, and we'll go on the next journey together again...
