"What is love? Does true love really exist? I know how to be loved, but what does it mean to love another person? Do I have the capacity to love someone else?" Everyone wants to experience love, yet it often seems that the people we most want to love become antagonists, and that the harder we try, the more distant we become from each other. God is the source of love, but it is obvious that at some point in human history, a vast gulf developed between man and God. High divorce rates, racism and terrorism, and animosity between religions are proof that we are far from realizing the ideal of love. If we truly met God, and felt deeply that God loves us, all loneliness and unhappiness, sickness, suffering and sorrow would vanish. We know this, but we can not find the experience we seek. This book is an investigation into the historical resentments that have interfered with love and come between men and women, parents and children, siblings, and friends, even when their deepest desire was to live together in harmony and mutual fulfillment. Learn how you can overcome the past, develop your own capacity to give of yourself, and see those around you with eyes of true love.
