Love is a wonderful thing. Although Scott Peck may not have a similar view. For Scott Peck, love is an activity that makes us hurt and gives us pain. Love isn't just a feeling for scott peck. It is more of an activity. Love makes man irrational, this time it's my point of view. Love is an emotion. And emotions are known to be the sit of all irrational actions. Love is an emotion. It makes the strong, weak. The rich, poor. The ugly, beautiful. The unseen, seen. And all sorts of paradoxes. All sorts of weirdness.

Have I ever loved before? Hmm... I guess I haved. Well, if you're thinking of boy girl loving relationship. Well, that's not what I'm referring to. Love for me is sacrifice. And the pursuit of altruism isn't far. Altruism is when you do something or someone good to the detriment of yourself. It is giving away your own competence for the sake of others, this is an evolutionist point of view.

In evolution theory, there are species with strong traits. And those species who gives these "strong traits" away are the altruistic kinds. Altruism is simply doing good.

Another form of love is egotism. The love for oneself. Like Scott Peck said, loving is an activity. Therefore if you love yourself. You would do things for yourself. That is self love. And like all kinds of love, loving oneself hurts. Because the nourishment of oneself is a painful journey. It is like a desert full of thorns and cactuses.

Love moves in mysterious ways-Nina.
