Surrendering Completely To Love, Be It Human Or Divine, Means Giving Up Everything, Including Our Own Well-being Or Our Ability To Make Decisions. It Means Loving In The Deepest Sense Of The Word. The Truth Is That We Don't Want To Be Saved In The Way God Has Chosen; We Want To Keep Absolute Control Over Our Every Step, To Be Fully Conscious Of Our Decisions, To Be Capable Of Choosing The Object Of Our Devotion.

I See Is That There Are Many People Who Destroy Their Marriages Because Of One-night Stands With Someone Else. And As The French Say, "c'est Ne Pas Grave."

She Was Doing It Because She Had Nothing To Lose, Because Her Life Was One Of Constant, Day To Day Frustration.

Nothing To Lose
