Good teams become great ones when the members trust each other enough to surrender the Me for the We.
Love is an attempt at penetrating another being, but it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.
Love can be so heartless when you turn out the light, a mutual surrender in the heat of the night.
My own observation is: lovers don't surrender to each other, they surrender to something unknown that exists between them. They surrender to love - call it the 'god of love' - they both surrender to the god of love. Hence nobody's ego is fulfilled by your surrender; both the egos disappear in love.
You can have all of me, I silently told him, but I'm taking all of you in return.
Love isn't just about feeling sure of the other person, knowing what he would give up for you. It's knowing with certainty what you are willing to surrender for his sake. Make no mistake; each partner gives up something. Individual dreams are surrendered for a shared one.
For you and for me the highest moment, the keenest joy, is not when our minds dominate but when we lose our minds, and you and I both lose it in the same way, through love.
I understood that in this small space of time we had mutually surrendered our loneliness and replaced it with trust.
