Those Who Belong To Us - Holding Lightly, Loving Freely

There is a small group of people who are our special ones: our partners, children, and other loved ones. It is usually not more than a handful or two of individuals over a whole lifetime. They are our dear ones. Somehow, they belong to us and we to them. We didn't really choose them but nor did we not choose them. We recognize them as belonging to us. This "belongingness" gives love a certain stability, permanence, and resilience. However, it is also the great precursor to possessiveness, demandingness, neediness, and general pain-in-the-arseness.
