Lovability

Hi

The problem with this emotional, ego-based pattern is that we are stuck looking for lovability, worth, and our true place in life from other mere mortals on an ego/earth plane.

--- Does "lovability" mean the same as "love"?

--- Does "from other mere mortals" mean that we're looking for these things (worth, lovability) in other people, that we want to have/receive these things from other people, by being with them?

"Lovability" is a property.

If you say something like, "looking for love in all the wrong places," the definition of love is ambiguous. Is it something you give, something you receive, or something you share?

When you attribute the property of lovability to someone/something, you mean the person/thing may be loved by you. You're looking for an object for your love.
