Love is acceptance. When you love someone . . . you take them into your heart, and that is surely why it hurts so much when we lose someone we love, because we lose a part of ourselves.
Andrew the Apostle
Affection is embracing. When you care deeply for someone . . . you bring them into your being, and that is why it aches so profoundly when we part with someone we adore, because we part with a piece of ourselves.
2.
If we strive for goals, relishing in the pleasure of circumstance, nothing is enjoyable, and life becomes purposeless.
Andrew the Apostle
If we aim for objectives, savoring the joy of occurrence, nothing is gratifying, and life becomes meaningless.
