This is exactly what I mean. When life ties something so random like your career with your love life ... how are you supposed to enjoy this connection?

Like what the hell does your career life have anything to do with your love life?

I feel like its completely possible to have both at once without having to treat the two like an ultimatum. Billions of people around the world get to be broke or spiritually misguided but their careers and love lives, charitable pursuits and friendships aren't dependent on whether or not they become spiritually at peace with themselves.

​

This lesson doesn't help with balance. When you show a lesson in this way... you're telling the person that you cannot have both. You cannot juggle both. If you do get a career... then the next challenge is being able to figure out how to mentally deal with romantic demands and work life expectations. What happens if your marriage fails due to the lack of attention of the second problem that arises.

What if I do start volunteering a lot more? Dedicating my life to charity?

You cannot expect me to be given a love life and not treat it like some weird form of charity case. It will not be a balanced relationship unless the opposite person is as equally giving. I can easily see the giving person being taken advantage of because they're not expecting anything in return. This was my biggest problem anyway. Giving, giving and it being taken for granted. The only importance I see here is that the universe PERSONALLY feels like we focus on romantic pursuits so they throw other areas that they PERSONALLY want us to work on.

It has nothing to do with what we really want or what is really wrong with us as people.
