Not going to be able to top last year's ponderings on the nature of love, and the ignorance with which we pursue and define it. Just wanted to delve into the concept of love ignorance once more. Because I think that ignorance doesn't originate from yourself, but rather from liar.
It's not that you don't know what love is because of a lack of understanding; it's that you don't know what love is because of a complete and willfully malicious misinformation campaign by liar's minions. Lust is a corruption of love, yes, but I'd also make the point that human love is -- even in forms and states we think of as pure -- still a corruption of love.
Love that doesn't incorporate Him in some form is not love, not true love. You may not see that nuance, but again blinders on you. The biggest root issue is the belief that love of a person, even a spouse, is because of some wondrous quality inborn in that person, and not because of the ability to love given to you by and through God.
Everyone, everyone weighs in on what love is and how to act on love. The key to recognizing which is true is the simple question, "Where does it acknowledge Him if at all?"
