The myth of romantic love is a dreadful lie. Perhaps it is a necessary lie in that it assures the “failing in love” – experience that traps us into marriage. But as a psychiatrist I weep in my heart almost daily for the ghastly confusion and suffering that this myth fosters. Millions of people waste vast amounts of energy desperately in an attempt to make the reality of their lives conform to the unreality of the myth.
I define love thus: “The will to extend one’s self for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth”.
M. Scott Peck - “The road less travelled” (1978)
