\nIt\u2019s a good thing to pursue happiness. After all, pain and disappointment do not come bearing worthy gifts. However, running from pain is not the same as pursuing happiness, and being that we are creatures of habit, if we run away from pain too long we may become experts at it and miss out on the thing we want to experience most \u2013 real love<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Putting an end to the run<\/strong><\/p>\n Even so, few people, if anyone of us at all, sees running from pain as a means to avoid love. It\u2019s a ritual or habit that can start early in our lives, when we are kids. We may be repeatedly disappointed by a parent who makes promises but seldom keeps them. Or we might witness one or both of our parents walking out of our lives as if we were merely children they\u2019d met at a park, not people they helped to create, not their own flesh and blood.<\/p>\n Let these heart wrenching experiences continue to find their way into our lives and it\u2019s no wonder some of us shy away from love and affection. We\u2019re tired of being hurt, tired of being disappointed. We might even think that we only get hurt when we let people get close enough to us to cause us to feel love for them. After all, as the saying goes, it\u2019s often the people who are closest to us who cause us to feel the deepest pain.<\/p>\n When this happens to Love Pour Over Me<\/span>\u2019s Raymond Clarke he responds the way many of us do. He turns away from love, even dismissing it when it shows up in a woman who has never disappointed or hurt him before, a woman he was born to love. Raymond\u2019s good at running, but over time even he realizes that running has cost him too much. Even he, the man with the broken childhood, realizes that it\u2019s time to stop running from love<\/i> in ways that are disguised as running from pain.<\/p>\n Thank you for reading my blog.
