RE: Want To Get What You Don't Already Have? The Art Of Compersion Will Get You There!

in #philosophy7 years ago (edited)

Very intriguing read. I'm glad that I came across your blog and I will follow your posts with interest.
I have always practiced compresion, appreciating other people's success and achievements is a motivation to me, I get inspired by successful people.
As for polyamory, your perspective presented here is very interesting but it's very far from my nature. I'm monogamous and when I love someone I don't need to look for other experiences. The act of loving someone makes me feel complete. Nevertheless, polyamory and polygamy are very interesting topics for me, and I would like to know more about it and the people who are practicing it.

I think compersion is a lot more common than we realize, but it's also not always utilized - and that's when we fall into these mental traps that actually hinder us from achieving what we want in life.

As I've said to many others in the past, poly definitely isn't for everyone. I do really appreciate a lot of aspects of monogamy. I'm definitely ones a deep emotional and sexual connection with someone in order to operate in a relationship. For me, I just realized that I'd also like the opportunity (whenever that organically appeared) to have that with others as well.
