The Manipulation of Romance

Romance is a multi-billion dollar industry – flowers, weddings, chocolates, cards, dinners, grand expensive gestures. It keeps us externally focussed on someone else satisfying the aspects within ourselves that we have not yet developed. We yearn to merge with another which is really the yearning to fully merge and integrate with ourselves. The commercial focus on romance and expectations of what this means keeps us disempowered to focus on ourselves and our own inner happiness and love.
