To Love or To Be Loved?... That Is The Question

Last night, on her Oscar Special, Oprah Winfrey paired up important performers to interview each other. Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman interviewed each other in Hollywood. They both came across as personable, very approachable and very charming people.

In the course of their questioning each other, Russell asked Nicole if it was better to love or to be loved. What an extraordinarily difficult question. I actually don't remember how Nicole Kidman answered the question.

But I truly think that all or us need to take a moment and ask ourselves the same question:

For you and I, are we people who find it more important to be the one giving love in a relationship or is it more significant to us to be the one who receives love?

My answer would be that it is as important to be able to give love to others as it is to be able to receive love from others. I need to have both things in my life at the same time for my life to work.

You may see things differently. That is okay too. You have to live your life in a way that works for you. I welcome comments anytime to one of my posts. I would especially like to hear from you on this particular issue.

Kindest regards,
