“The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live.”

Love consists in giving without getting in return in giving what is not owed, what is not due the other. That's why true love is never based, as associations for utility or pleasure are, on a fair exchange.
Conjugal love, or the friendship of spouses, can persist even after sexual desires have weakened, withered, and disappeared.
When we ask for love, we don't ask others to be fair to us-but rather to care for us, to be considerate of us. There is a world of difference here between demanding justice... and begging or pleading for love.
Unless we love and are loved, each of us is alone, each of us is deeply lonely.
