The love we generally feel for our family and close friends is deep and genuine, but it is not always pure love. Mixed with it are feelings such as the need to feel loved and appreciated in return, a desire to get something from them, and frustration or even anger if our wishes are not fulfilled. It is sometimes very difficult to distinguish between our love and our attachment for others, but, when we are able to do so, we will see that it is invariably the attachment that is the cause of our suffering.
