Love

Nobody can explain love, but everyone can understand it.

Somebody loved Joseph Stalin and Idi Amin. Why? They just did.

On the other hand, love's bond makes absolute sense when put in terms of fathers and children. Particularly when it is "love fierce and true," as in (NPR) Weekend Edition Saturday host Scott Simon's essay on adopting his daughter.

** If you're not getting love back from a child, you're probably not giving enough. **
