A Touch Of Wisdom, 10/19/16

"We really have to understand the person we want to love.
If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love.
If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our
own needs and ignore the needs of the other person,
we cannot love."

Thich Nhat Hanh (Zen Buddhist Master) 

Thích Nhất Hạnh is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk and peace activist. He lives in Plum Village in the Dordogne region in the south of France, travelling internationally to give retreats and talks. Wikipedia (To learn more, please click on this Wikipedia link)
