YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLove is not just something you feel. It is something you decide.
Saint Thomas Aquinas defined love as willing the good of the other. That is a much more demanding idea than simply liking someone or feeling affection toward them. Feelings change. Love asks something of your character.
It means choosing the good of another person even when it is difficult, inconvenient, or costly. That is why love takes work.
In a world that gives us plenty of reasons to withdraw from one another, the decision to love becomes a measure of who we choose to be.
