guyfinley:"It isn't hard, at times, to love others for what they are. Such relationships are on easy terms, and we receive what we give in a fair measure. But to love another for what they may yet be -- to give them the patience and kindness that lets them flower, this is a different task altogether. For to love a person for what he or she may be, costs us; and to pay this coin we must, ourselves, run in debt to who it is that we hope to be, an act that requires our payment in every moment, and with all those we meet. This is something I need to learn and repeat to myself each and everyday in my life, & to remind myself. I can only control what happens with-in my own feelings."
