INTRODUCTIONLet’s talk about love. It’s the air that
we breathe, yet it takes our breathaway. It’s all around, yet it’s hard to find.
It’s a sickness and the best medicine.
It’s about giving and about taking. One
can fall into it and one can fall out of
it. It’s free, but it can cost you dear.
Love knows no bounds, yet it binds.
Sometimes love is brief; sometimes
it lasts forever.

THE PAIN OF LOVETo love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one
must not love. But then one suffers from
not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not
to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. Tobe happy is to love. To be happy then is to
suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy.
Therefore, to be unhappy one must love,
or love to suffer, or suffer from too much
happiness. I hope you’re getting this down. Woody Allen
One word frees us of all the weight and
pain in life. That word is love.Sophocles

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
