Ubi Amor Ibi Fides -- D+3

Love, such a simple word that often seems adequate and inadequate at the same time.
The word Love is hardly descriptive. Yet it can convey so much.
In Latin Love is not just Love... Love is Agape (unconditional), Amor (romantic love), Caritas (caring love)...

Love is patient and kind,
Love is not jealous or conceited or proud,
Love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable,
Lovedoes not keep a record of wrongs,
Love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth,
Love never gives up; and its faith, hope and patience never fail.
Love is eternal...
- 1 Corinthians 13 4-8

Adam Smith once said that to him, an important factor that distinguished man from beast is man's ability to put himself in the position of another person... It is quirky that a man of economics could be so true about love...

A sappy love movie once tried to sum up love in its theme " the greatest thing in life is to love and to be loved in return" In my opinion I think they're pretty warm but not spot on. I think the greatest thing in life is to love and to be loved in return... with the same kind of love...
