The trust which co-creates the movement of love is not constrained by calculation, demands, or obligations. In the reciprocity of love no one is obliged and no one has rights. Reciprocity is the gift of grace and grace cannot be either earned or demanded: one attains it freely and it is removed freely. In this quality, too, the bond of love transcends all practical communications; it transcends them because it is not a relationship between empirical persons but a meeting, in an effort of mutual exchange, of nonexchangeable and non-conditioned realities.
I'm reading Leszek Kolakowski's The Presence of Myth. It's a discussion of the real place that mythologies and myth inhabit in the human culture (see the myth of Love, above).
I'm looking for the chapter where he describes the solution to the problem of people getting lost in mythology and losing sight of reality. Yes, there's always an inter-connection (a mythical reality, theoretically), but the last few years has shown me that there are people who have completely lost sight of the real.
Save the real, save the world. Need to catch up on Heroes.
