From “Forgive What you can not forget”
“Love is a thing of depth.
When forced to stay on the surface, it flounders about like a fish out of water.
A fish can’t live on the surface, because it can’t breathe. It breathes oxygen but not from the surface air.
Fish pull water through their gills, which dissolve the oxygen from the water and dispense it into their bodies.
If they don’t get below the surface, they will be starved of what gives them life.
Love is a bit like that.
Love needs depth to live.
Love needs honesty to grow.
Love needs trust to survive.“

My two cents: What do abused kids know about love?
Love was no part of my childhood experience, violence, abuse and turmoil filled my youth.
Now I see my father never forgave, never felt remorse, I did not understand how a narcissist thought or behaved.
I have no idea what love is or how to forgive.
Awareness of our flaws always starts the process of change.
