Truth revisited

Some things are true whether you believe them or not.

A friend is musing on these things with me and sent me this quotation:

"What is interesting, however, about this question of the fortuitousness of love, of whether it turns upon fate or coincidence, is that it is probably only seriously asked by those who are not yet in love, or not deeply in love, or who in fact have no idea what love is. These are the sort of people who like to ponder whether the lover they have found might be only one of any number of possibilities. But the person who is truly in love, by contrast, couldn't care less about other possibilities, just as one who has found the Truth takes no interest in "other truths." For the one who believes and for the one who loves, there is no other truth and there is no other love. "

Unknown source.

Some things are worth dying for in this life, the Truth is one of them and surely love is another. Here is the rub - what if they are opposed to each other? Understood, shared love cannot be outside of undestood, shared Truth and if it is, on those sad and painful occasions Truth is the choice.
