Thomas Merton

"The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them."

-Thomas Merton

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                                          I really like this quote because this is very true to the way that we are living. I think  that is exactly what we do because it suits us better, we woukd rather change the person to be like ourselves. It takes less work, and we would rather do that then just love the person for who  they are. if you cant do that then why did you fall in love with the person anyways?
