There is a love out there so vibrant, so tangible, so immense.
It is a gut wrenching love, a love to outlove all others. A love of such beauty that Angels fear to tread in its presence.
A love undefinable and undefeatable, a love uncontainable and out of this world.
It is a love that demands, compels, strives, expects, understands, forgives and pours.
It is given freely.
The question is, do you want it?

Passage from the Bible
5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

English Lit: What is the point?
"I have suffered a great deal from writers who have quoted this or that sentence of mine either out of its context or in juxtaposition to some incongruous matter which quite distorted my meaning , or destroyed it altogether."
Alfred North Whitehead (1861 - 1947)
This is a summary of why I despise the subject of English Language. Here is a subject in which you read a piece of literature, and often a very fine piece, and you flip it around and shake it about a bit and make it mean a hundred different things. For me, authors usually write so that one can enjoy what they are reading, not take it apart. If authors do want a meaning to come out I think it must usually be only one, not a hundred from various perspectives.
I think that English should consist of two things: Creative writing and reading. And maybe a little time to discuss. This would make it far more interesting.
