Fostering Compersion: The Polyamorous Principle that Can Strengthen Any Relationship | Gracie X. I was at a party recently where a poly pal was complaining about "the myth of the almighty compersion"--the phenomenon of being happy when your lover is getting pleasure from someone other than you. He told me his new girlfriend of just four months had started dating another fellow and now had less time for him. "I am trying to be happy for her--but it feels about as good as the root canal I had last month. " This is the downer of ethical non-monogamy---your partner swept away with new relationship energy--you at home attempting to be a jolly poly good sport. I agreed with him--attempting to feel compersion at this moment would be wrong. Compersion is an authentic feeling of pleasure that can't be faked, forced, or conjured up.

It happens organically. The times when I have felt true compersion have always been toward someone I've loved for many years, felt securely bonded to, and been actively invested in their need to thrive. Remember: Compersion is not sacrifice. Milk: Michelle Magdalena Maddox. 'I was once asked the popular question, “what is your greatest strength and your greatest weakness” and I knew right away, they were one in the same. I am quite the intuitive person, so regardless of how prepared I am, or set on one idea I may be, I am always open and seeking new ideas or components; Watching the light, and following it with all my heart.'

You are the one (feat. Devendra Banhart) Laliebredemarzo: Tired. 1Peter Hègre El catecismo me enseñó, en la infancia, a hacer el bien por conveniencia y a no hacer el mal por miedo. Dios me ofrecía castigos y recompensas, me amenazaba con el infierno y me prometía el cielo; y yo temía y creía. Han pasado los años.

Yo ya no temo ni creo. Y en todo caso, pienso, si merezco ser asado en la parrilla, a eterno fuego lento, que así sea. (...) Sinceramente: merecer merezco. No codiciarás a la mujer de tu prójimo, ni a su toro, ni a su asno... Eduardo Galeano (El libro de los abrazos) 2Lauren Bentley 4Autumn Sonnichsen 5Feuille blanche 6Roman Tkachenko 7Dmitry Chapala.
