love, but merely to

"For
one human being to love
another, that is
perhaps the most
difficult of all our
tasks, the ultimate,
the last test and

which all other work is
but preparation."

"Beyond
the element of giving,
the active character of
love becomes evident in
the fact that it always
implies certain basic
elements, common to all
forms of love. These
are care,
responsibility, respect
and knowledge."
(Erich Fromm)
