Love

There was a very good discussion about this word on the radio tonight. I wholeheartedly agree with the interpretation put forth. Love is many things and the longest string that involves love is hope, when you may no longer believe in someone you love to do the right things, you still hope.

I thought long about this, and it is why I have love. I have love for students, for family, for friends, but I have yet to understand that which is love is this manner from romantic love. I have loved, I have lusted, but yet I have never been in love. I do not know what it is to love someone in a manner other than that which I have to give forthright. I love by design. In retrospect I have yet to be in love.

Another great discussion for the evening was that of reflection. One should glance back at the past, but not be bound by it. We learn and move forward, and upon a wavering of conviction it is necessary to reflect on what made us move to begin with. The analogy used was that of the rear view mirror. It is an analogy that I have used before as well. This clearly contributed to how interested I was in what the radio personality had to say. We glance at the rear view to be safe in our movement, but should we fixate on it, we surely will be disastrous in our driving.
