The principal form that the work of love takes is attention. When we love another person we give him or her our attention; we attend to that person's growth.
M. Scott PeckLove is the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth... Love is as love does. Love is an act of will -- namely, both an intention and an action. Will also implies choice. We do not have to love. We choose to love.
M. Scott Peck
