Is Love an act of Faith?
I think that depends on which facet of love you’re focusing on. “Love” is a diamond with infinite facets, only a few slender strands of which can ever be understood by the minds of men. The rest can only be understood with the soul. In some of those facets closest to our ability to comprehend, “love” is a verb. It is something you “do”. In others, “love” is a noun – something you possess – a thing between people to be shared or kept, at the user’s discretion. In still other facets, “love” is an adjective – a state of being, one of many “colors” of the soul. To gaze into some of those facets, one must take a leap of faith. Other facets require no faith, only observation. And with some facets of love, we become incapable of recognizing them as such, and in our confusion we mistake the emotion for hate. “Love” is an absurdly complex thing. Much like the human heart, itself.
