What is Love? The eternal question we all carry around deep within our heart. Love is the eternal search. Love is eternal when we find it. But do we really ever find it ? When we define it do we negate it? When we set limits on what we believe to be love do we begin to destroy it by hoping to understand or own it for ourselves? We offer it through all of our relationship we vary our giving, often by what we hope to receive in return. But is this really love?

　　愛是什么？這是所有人心底一個永恒的問題。愛，是永恒的尋覓。愛一旦被找到，它也將變為永恒。但是我們真的找到過愛嗎？當我們定義愛的同時，是否也在否定愛呢？在給我們所認為的愛加種種限制的同時，我們試圖按自己的方式理解它，或想將其據為己有時，我們是否也在破壞它呢？我們將愛施與周圍的所有人，而如何給予是由期望的回報來決定的。但這是真正的愛

　　I recently overheard someone say in a conversation that there is no such thing as “ unconditional love .” I would have to agree, although for different reasons. Love within itself is unconditional. Anything else is only an attempt to love, a learning to get us nearer to the one true knowing of love. It may be honorable, well-intentioned, passionate and desiring, courageous and pure. It may be felt as temporary, but if lost easily it may not have been love at all. Love cannot be thwarted and often fall short of what we hope love will be. This is where we learn we are human.

　　最近，我無意間聽別人說，世上沒有所謂的“無條件的愛”。在此，我不得不表示同意這一論斷，盡管理由不盡相同，但愛本身確是無條件的。其他一切都僅僅是愛的一種嘗試，通過它們去逐漸地理解愛的真諦。愛可能是高貴善意的，是充滿熱情和渴望的，是勇敢和純潔的；愛是勢不可擋的，而且，常常達不到我們的期望值。由此我們可以透察人性。
