To feel love is a gift, from who or what depends on your outlook. To the best of our understanding it is beautiful and so it should be cultivated even if we don't know what it is or where it came from.

Oh this is smooth.

You made ancient philosophy feel flirty. Turning Plato into a Valentine’s teaser? Elite move.

My favorite from the Symposium is Diotima's Speech. It is the best explication of love I have ever found. It expands the timeline far beyond the more common lust and romance phases and ends with the legacy of a union that can become the closest mankind can approach immortality.

If the people I hate can’t feel it, the people we love don’t feel it either. Both color our character.
