Topic: Love doesn't keep score
Sharing in love does not mean keeping a balance
sheet of who is doing what and who is doing more.
There will be times when we must give more than
we get, but there will be other moments when we
will need and receive more than we are able to
give. Keeping score belongs in competitive
sports, not in a mutually supportive
relationship. True love is wanting to give to
another person without any thought about who's
getting the better of the deal.
Of all the games that lovers play, this can be
one of the most delicate. When the , the players
are mature enough and care enough to stop
keeping score, the contest is over. Love has
declared another victory.
