to love..

To love someone is not just a strong feeling -
愛一個人並不單純是種強烈的感覺,
it is a decision, it is a judgement, it is a promise.
愛是決定,愛是判斷,愛是承諾。
If love were only a feeling,
如果愛僅僅是種感覺,
there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever.
那就沒有對彼此承諾天長地久的基礎。
A feeling may come and go.
感覺來去無蹤,縹緲虛無。。
How can I judge that it will stay forever,
我怎麼知道愛會長久,
when my act does not involve judgement and decision?
若我的行為不牽涉到判斷與決定?

~ by Erich Fromm.

Happy Valentine!
