I don’t know a person who has not, at one time or another, felt a longing for greater love in their life. The absence of enough like-minded friends around, less support and success in a particular endeavour than one would wish, a sense of rarely being understood, or the absence of sincere, satisfying romantic or sexual connection, can leave us in great pain and suffering, even if it might seem we are surrounded by many people who care about us. We are all, always longing to be loved, in a world where there is so much confusion about what love even is, and what it might mean to love each other well.
