Knowing that one has loved enough to feel sorrow.

I am confident in love. In the sense that I have never been hurt by love. I want to teach that most love does not hurt. One must never be afraid of love. Even the sad parts of love need not hurt in the grand scheme of things. One feels sorrow at the death of a loved one. But that sorrow is the result of having loved. And that, in the end, is what brings solace. And contentment. Knowing that one has loved enough to feel sorrow. --Jim Broede
