apophenic dreams.

"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in a casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."

- C.S. Lewis

There is one clear and basic indication that we are involved in relationships of true love. It is this: we want our loved ones to be happy even if we cannot be the ones to share that happiness; we continue to want what is best for those we truly love even if we ourselves are unable to make them happy.

In recognising the jagged edges of human existence and the awful ambiguity of living and dying, we begin to understand what it means to hope against hope. Human hopes arise out of a stubborn refusal to give way in the face of so much evil and suffering, out of the extraordinary ability to begin again after being touched by tragedy, out of momentary human glimpses of transcendence in the midst of pain and joy. These hopes, though fragile, are a persistent and universal experience of the human spirit.

“I finally understood what true love meant. Love meant that you care for another person’s happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.”
