and Love is patient, Love is kind; Love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Lover never ends.
Philosophy answers "why"
God knows "how" and "why"
How shall I meditate upon You?
The flow of hours--time tells of Your timelessness
The expanse of sky--vision proposesf Your infinite greatness
The clarity of stillness--holds me in Your ever-presence
My Lord and my God!
There is nothing truly original aside from the origin,
The truth is the truth
if you state it again, you only state it, and it is even true.
(this thought met a similar one from Sang Yun)
~Gregory of Nyssa
