hen His Holiness the Dalai Lama was asked what the meaning of life was, he answered: “a happy and meaningful life”. I strongly believe that to achieve this, warm-heartedness or compassion is the key factor. Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. If you can’t help them, don’t hurt them. Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive, and neither can your relationship. A sense of concern for others, and in this context, our life partners, gives our lives meaning. It is the root of all human happiness. But judgement holds us back. Sometimes you just need to let go. Accept that your partner has different needs than yours. Embrace them. Understand them. Give them shapes. Hold them in
