It’s everywhere - in songs, in movies, on Facebook - this perfect relationship that we’re meant to have that will somehow make our life secure, complete and happy ever after.

When we believe all these concepts to be truths we get lost and we suffer because they are mind-made, man-made ideas which could never have the power to make us feel anything - including our partner. We only ever experience them as a function of our own thought, our partner is an idea the same as any other concept.
