Healthy Love
We have dedicated Contemporary Love to the promotion of 'healthy' love, romance and relationships, without having said anything about what we consider to be 'healthy'. Thought I'd take a moment to share some thoughts on the topic.
In my opinion, a healthy relationship is one in which all of the parties involved have a sincere desire to see those or that which they love grow and flourish. That's what healthy things do. They grow and flourish. We promote the well-being and development of what we love when we love in a healthy way.
This applies to every form of love - self, mate, family, country, profession, etc.
It implies the notion of reasonable sacrifice on behalf of what we love, a lessening of self-interest and selfishness and becomes the healthy expression of the love we feel.
Of course, it is a simple thing to make such basic definitions. It is another thing to live by them day-to-day.
