Importance of Love

There were a variety of activities that I took part in today, much like any other day, that meant little or nothing to me.  It was very much like Williamson says; “Meaning doesn’t lie in things. Meaning lies in us.  When we attach value to things that aren’t love—the money, the car, the house, the prestige—we are loving things that can’t love us back. We are searching for meaning in the meaningless. Money, of itself, means nothing. Material things, of themselves, mean nothing.  It’s not that they’re bad. It’s that they’re nothing.”  On the other hand, I had a good connection with a client and a strong, loving connection with my wife.  There, I found meaning and fulfillment.
