we learn through attachment that it
is painful to be attached, that we don't own
someone else or his/her feelings, and mostly
that our happiness shouldn't rely exclusively
on someone else's appreciation or feelings for
us.
The same goes for working with people who
we don't appreciate. I believe we come
across people who are difficult to be around
because we need to learn something from
them, even if the lesson is just "keep away
from assholes".
Loving someone who is wrong for us often
teaches us that we are holding on to an
illusion about that person – we might be over-
emphasizing their qualities and missing their
faults – or about ourselves – that we don't
have much value outside of a relationship with
the person we think is "the one".
The wrong person is there to show you the
only right person is actually you; you have to
honor your place here and keep living the best
you can even with an unrequited love..
