Sounds like a lot of psycho babble to sell a book. One just need spend time on here to find that while most of us would like to find a loving relationship, we are quite adapted to the idea that we will be alone for the remainder of our lives. And we are self sufficient, finding happiness and fulfillment in our own interests. And I frequently feel quite content when I see so many people living in misery with a partner just to avoid being alone.

This GIFT has had my ears listening for the whisper, but as I age and my hearing weakens it makes it even harder to find the whisper among all the shouting. Great article, thanks for sharing

"We are not meant to be alone and self-sufficient." Says whom? "longing for love", is a weakness that keeps an otherwise productive person engaged in whimsy.

IMO "longing for love" wastes a lot of time when you could be out doing things that make you happy, and perhaps while doing those things, love will show up! Neediness is NOT attractive on anyone!
