The Purpose of Love: Doubled Joy, Divided Grief
In this episode, the host addresses the disillusionment surrounding love and relationships. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the purpose of love and reminds listeners that it hasn't changed. The purpose of love is to find someone who doubles your joy and divides your grief, creating newness in life through shared experiences. The right person amplifies your life with excitement and light, while also lightening the burdens you carry. The host encourages letting go of the narrative of negativity and disillusionment, and choosing to believe in the power of connection and hope.
Beyond Disillusionment: The Point of Love
The host offers practical insights into the purpose of love, sourced from real human experiences shared on Reddit. Love gives us the opportunity for adventure, both in exploring the world and understanding ourselves. It provides the transcendent experience of intimate and generous sex within a trusting relationship. Love also helps us carry the baggage of our past, providing forgiveness and lightening the weights we carry. The purpose of love is to create new experiences, amplify joy, and navigate the ups and downs of life together.
Letting Go of Disillusionment: Choosing to Believe in Love
The host encourages listeners to let go of disillusionment and view it as an old map that leads to dead ends. Instead, she urges finding a new map that does not limit us to past experiences. Letting go is an act of trust in ourselves and a rebellion against the societal narrative of lowering expectations. The purpose of love goes beyond what society dictates, and it involves doubling joy and dividing grief. By believing in the power of connection, forgiveness, and shared experiences, we can reclaim our narrative from cynicism and choose hope.
In this episode, I talk about letting go of disillusionment or thinking love is pointless. I talk about taking back your power in the face of negative and draining narratives about dating in 2024.
