Reflection for the Week- February 28th, 2011
A tendency to equate bread and love leads to an impoverishment of love. Love cannot be bought and sold; it is not a consumer product, even though commercial and personal interests may want to convince us otherwise. Since we can’t purchase love, we may figure the best way to obtain it is to make sure that we receive before we give. Whenever we center on “what’s in this for me?” or “why should I do this unless I’m going to get that?” we’re losing love and operating in a manner akin to living on bread alone.
