Some in our society today want to define “love” as being the elimination of tension.<\/p>\n
There’s no confrontation, no correction…<\/p>\n
…just affirmation.<\/p>\n
When you trace that line of reasoning to its inevitable conclusion, you have a situation where\u00a0Law Enforcement, Discipline, Education, Personal Responsibility, Moral Courage, and a healthy Work Ethic…<\/p>\n
…are all regarded as detrimental.<\/p>\n
Even the concept of God’s Grace becomes toxic because of the way it implies that a person needs to be forgiven.<\/p>\n
Love is defined as a person’s willingness to endure the tension that occurs when a commitment to another’s welfare is perceived as an assault on their happiness.<\/p>\n
That kind of love is rare, but it’s the only kind that is real.<\/p>\n
Everything else is a cowardly imitation posing as compassion.<\/p>\n
