Aparigraha: nonpossessiveness 5

I have been in unhealthy romantic relationships.  Imagine that.  How do I know that they were unhealthy?  Because I was miserable when she was not around, because I was jealous, because I wanted to control her, because I was attached. Some people call this love. I have called this love.  I have found that it is actually fear.  1 Corinthians 13, 4-7 is truly an amazing scared scripture; Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love is not attached.
