To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart - TopicsExpress



          

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to loves tragedies, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. For the only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell. -- C.S Lewis (The Four Loves)
