It is when alone that we get to know where
we can go and how far, it is when alone that we get to know who we are.
“The capacity to be alone is
the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it's not. It is an
existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable
of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another person--without
possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing
the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow
the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they
will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other,
because it is not given by the other.”
(Osho)
