All those who understand the mental construct of rising above the moment will survive and achieve a lot in this world. Rising above the moment will start when you start living based on awareness rather than thoughts. Thought driven life leads to imaginative nature, and awareness driven life leads to coherent living.
Where is the meaning in Love? The meaning only comes when another Individual reciprocates similar actions of love. One sided love is entirely meaningless and waste of energy and time. This human life is too short to spend time on meaningless stuff. Make sure that you spend time in quality love that gets reciprocated.
