The Truth About Love
The truth is that the more intimately you know someone,
the more clearly you see their flaws. That’s just the way it is.
This is why marriages fail, why children are abandoned,
why friendships don’t last.
You might think you love someone
until you see the way they act when they’re out of money, or
under pressure, or hungry. Love is something different.
Love is choosing to serve someone and be with someone
in spite of their filthy heart. Love is patient and kind, love is deliberate.
Love is hard. Love is pain and sacrifice, it’s seeing the
darkness in another person and
defying the impulse to jump ship.
