Theory of Life and Love

by: Albert Einstein



Sometimes in our relentless effort to find the person we love,
We fail to recognize and appreciate the people who love us.
We miss out on so many beautiful things simply because we
allow ourselves to be enslaved by our own selfish concerns.

Go for the man of deeds and not for the man of words,
For you will find rewarding happiness,
Not with the man you love
But with the man who loves you more.

The best lovers are those capable of loving from a distance
Far enough to allow the person to grow
But ever too far to feel the love within your being.

To let go of someone doesn't mean you have to stop loving,
It only means that you allow that person to find his
own happiness without expecting him to come back.

Letting go is not just setting the other person free,
But is also setting yourself free from all the bitterness,
Hatred, and anger that you keep in your heart.

Do not let the bitterness take away your strength
And weaken your faith,
And never allow pain to dishearten you;
But rather let yourself grow with wisdom in bearing it.

You may find peace in loving someone from a distance
Not expecting something in return.
But be careful, for this can sustain life but can
never give enough room for us to grow.

We can all survive with just beautiful memories of the past,
But real peace and happiness come
Only with open acceptance of what reality is today.
There comes a time in our lives when we chase upon someone so nice
And beautiful and we just find ourselves so intensely attracted to that person.
This feeling soon becomes a part of our everyday lives
And eventually consumes our thoughts and actions.

The sad part of it is when we begin to
realize that this person feels nothing
more for us than just a friendship.

We start our desperate attempt to get noticed and be closer,
But in the end, our efforts are still unrewarded
And we end up being sorry for ourselves.

You don't have to forget someone you love.
What you need to learn is how to accept the verdict of reality
Without being bitter or sorry for yourself.
Believe me, you would be better off
giving that dedication and love to
someone more deserving.

Don't let your heart run your life,
Be sensible and let your mind speak for itself.

Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well.
Always remember that if you lose someone today,
It means that someone better is coming tomorrow.
If you lose love that doesn't mean you failed in love.

Cry if you have to, but make sure that tears wash away the hurt
And the bitterness that the past has left with you.
Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back to you.
And when it does, pray that it may be the love
that will stay and last a lifetime.

There are two ways to live your life:

One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.

There is no mistake so painful that love cannot forgive.
No past so bitter that love cannot accept.
And no love so little that we cannot
start all over with
