Disciple : What is LOVE?
Master : The absence of fear.

Disciple : What is it that we fear?
Master : Love.
-----------------------------------

Somehow the above is true. I have this notion that some of us humans are afraid of loving as much as being loved. There is this fear of getting hurt in the process of loving. Perhaps the above is the answer to the question of "Why some are afraid of commitment or of being committed to a person."

Perhaps the problems lie not only on the other person's part, perhaps the greatest problem lie in how we look at ourselves. For how could we expect so much love when we can't give it ourselves. How could we expect to be loved when we can't even love ourselves. When we can't even acknowledge that we are worthy of being loved. We would always say to ourselves unconciously or consciously that we are not worth somone else's time and effort because we are "pangit", we are not sexy, we are not rich. If that is how we look at the world then that is how we will be looked at.
