Reflect:
This week we have been talking about love. We started with the intro and What is Love? In the article, Dr. Helen Fisher says there are three types of love; lust, attachment, and romantic attraction. I totally believe in the lust part, I think we all have experienced that, but I thought the other two were described as too broad of subjects to really make connections with. The second reading was Song of Songs and the Art of Love. I have a strong connection with a quote from the Art of Love. This is what it says, "Love, like war, is a toss-up. The defeated can recover, while some you might think invincible collapse; so if you've got love written off as an easy option you'd better think twice. Love calls for guts and initiative." (pg 295). I connect to this because I have been defeated, but I have also recovered. While at the same time, because of being able to recover quickly, I thought I was invincible. I found out that I wasn't and I collapsed. So yes, this quote rings very true for me.
