Alexander Pruss has an excellent essay on the nature of love, and its relationship with our actions.
We have all been guilty in the past and present of "hurting those we love". Why, and/or how do we do this when we supposedly love the other. This is a question that mankind has contemplated since time began, through many mediums.
It is difficult to argue with his reasoning, and it comes back to a conclusion that I have made before in my personal life. Love is an action, and/or a decision with which we constantly interact. For those I love, it is more than an ethereal "feeling", but a conscious decision that I make, to love. By interacting with God's grace, I am able to display this love for others. If I reject this grace, it is much more difficult, if not impossible to do so.
Read the essay and see what you think.
