Eros reveals a truth
the mind often misses: what we truly love, we already own,
regardless of
names or deeds. When we loosen our grip on identity tied to ownership, we discover wealth in tending, caring, and loving the world itself.
Shifting the reward from outcome to process dissolves the need for fortresses, freeing us from the fragile identities we try to defend. Eros invites us to root our identity in what we add to life—what we bring—and in doing so, we receive a fulfillment that can never be taken away.
