Anger or resentment toward someone who has left us does not prove we love and they don\u2019t.

This momentary hole in our soul\u2014created by such losses\u2014must be left empty and not filled with negative states, otherwise we will never see the birth of a new and higher order of love within us because we\u2019ve no room left for it to appear.
