“For children love is a feeling; for adults, it is a decision. Children wait to learn if their love is true by seeing how long it lasts; adults make their love true by never wavering from their commitment.”
― Orson Scott Card, “Pathfinder,” pg. 360
.
For children, or for those in whom love has not yet matured, love tends to be a passive / reactive and emotional experience.
This post speaks to me tremendously today as I am well on my way to exploring what real love is all about--to developing the capacity to deliver better on my end of the commitment and to love another.
I have nominated you for “The Addictive Blog Award”!!!
