Cervantes Love-Grandpa Bill Welcome s one and ALL -Silver Streakers and all you amazing folks from 1 to 92! Welcome back to the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour Podcast. And for those of you joining me on YouTube at @billholt8792, it's great to see your smiling faces! Grandpa Bill, fully retired for years now, still going strong with two audio tapings and one video taping daily – for eight years running! And today, we're diving deep into a powerful truth about love, inspired by a profound observation:
"This 'love' was possessive, not reciprocal. It was a love that sought to extract, to control, to own. The master 'loves' the slave for what they are – a tool, an asset, a body – not for who they are as a human being."
Now, those are heavy words, aren't they? They come from a place of understanding the darker side of human connection, where "love" gets twisted into something transactional and self-serving. It's a stark reminder that not all affection is created equal. When someone "loves" you for what they can get from you – whether it's your strength, your beauty, your work, or even just your presence – that's not true love. That's possession. That's about control.
Think about it in our own lives, even in seemingly harmless ways. Are we sometimes seeking to "love" others for what they can do for us? Do we appreciate people for their contributions rather than their inherent worth as a unique, wonderful human being? Do we, perhaps unintentionally, try to control situations or people because we believe it's "loving" them?
The beauty of unconditional love, the kind we champion here at Silver Streakers, is that it sets people free. It nurtures, it supports, it celebrates. It doesn't demand, it doesn't extract, and it certainly doesn't seek to own. It's about seeing the whole person, flaws and all, and embracing them for exactly who they are.
This understanding is crucial for our holistic health and wellness. When we experience or perpetuate possessive "love," it creates stress, anxiety, and an imbalance in our hearts and minds. It can lead to resentment and disconnect. But when we practice and receive reciprocal, human-centric love, we open ourselves up to true joy, peace, and vibrant well-being. It's like a powerful workout for our hearts and minds, building strength and resilient.
