What we need to know about loving is no great mystery. We all know what constitutes loving behavior; we need but act upon it, not continually question it.

It's we who make it complicated.
I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve.
