What is love?
Many years ago, someone who meant the universe to me asked me what love is. I had to confess to her, at the time, that I just did not know what to tell her. Then, I went on to study all the best Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance authors I could find on the subject, from Ovid's "Ars Amatoria" to Andreas Capellanus' "De Amore", among endless others, and gave her this answer: "Love is what remains in the ruins of a relationship once all the promises, fantasies and illusions are long gone." It's not a simple answer, but I hope that YOU, as you read these lines, may contemplate what I meant... #love #philosophy #literature (edited)

The best definition i have ever found for love is in the Bible. 1 Corinthians 13. If I can try to Love like this I will have accomplished a great deal in my life. If you’re able read the entire chapter please do but here are the highlights Love is patient, kind, doesnt envy or boast, is not arrogant or rude, doesn’t insist on its own way, isnt irritable or resentful, rejoices in truths, bears, believes, hopes and endures all things and is never ending. I will never be able to love perfectly like this but i will try. (edited)

Corinthians 13 is a giant definition as someone mentioned earlier. But your short answer is also a very good one. A shorter one may also be: Love is what remains, or Love is what stays. It says it all yet leaves room for imagination. Humble. Thank you for the definition. (edited)

What are you reading this Saturday?
Relaxing in my study while I wait for the "cable guy." No internet since Wed ☹️ Reset everything and even replaced the router with no success. So time to give in and get some expert help. I'm in the middle of two books right now, but currently just feel like reading a bit of Emily 🙂📚 What are... (edited) read more

"The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea"
"It was the sea that made me begin thinking secretly about love more than anything else; you know, a love worth dying for, or a love that consumes you. To a man locked up in a steel ship all the time, the sea is too much like a woman." ~ Yukio Mishima

A heavy heart beats, beneath a smiling face, Tears well up, in a secret, hidden place. What kind of pain, can bring such a test? A heart that's hurting, and still finds rest.

کتابای مورد علاقه
کتابای مورد علاقه تونو با دلیل بنویسین. برا من کارای صادق هدایت جالبن، مردی که میخندد هوگو تراژدی باحالیه ولی مقدمه طولانی ای داره و کارای ژول ورن به نظرم خیلی خلاقانه بود.

Power is when we choose to remain positive even when things are falling apart , saying to ourselves it is definitely for the better even if don't know what it is now, practice this it is hard at the beginning you're not alone am with you in this 🤍

Reading to be triggered
Lately i have found myself really in to memoirs and documentaries that deal with lots of trauma. Its like I'm stuck in my own healing journey, because my own traumas are no longer triggering (which is a great thing in the sense that I've healed from those specific thoughts). I used to avoid... read more
