Relationships

I got this in an email today:

“Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.” ~the Dalai Lama

Maybe that's my problem. They say don't look for someone you can live with (to marry) but find someone you can't live without. The problem is that I'm independent enough that I can live without everyone. (Side note: I like having close friends and family; I acknowledge and appreciate what they do in my life).

So it’s not the need that should be emphasized but love. And it’s love that should come first. Maybe there is hope for me, if only I could figure the whole love thing out…

What do you guys (by guys I mean everyone who reads this) think about this quote and the theory about finding someone you can't live without?
