As usual, I really pay attention to your writings and they hit me straight on. Your description of LOVE and is one of the best descriptions of practical love that I have read. To repeat from your writtings:

"Love might be the most prestigious word in our cultural vocabulary.

Why do we want it so much?

Because we want to be our best selves - to exercise the finest, kindest, and happiest parts of who we are. We hope another person might help draw that out in us - that they’ll see our potential clearly and help shape it with care.

To be loved is to feel someone is tending to us - pruning and chiseling gently, so we can flourish. And to love someone is to wish to do the same for them."
