But this, though a sort of love we need, is not the sort we want. We want to be loved for our cleverness, beauty, generosity, fairness, usefulness. The first hint that anyone is offering us the highest love of all is a terrible shock. This is so well recognized that spiteful people will pretend to be loving us with Charity precisely because they know that it will wound us. To say to one who expects a renewal of Affection, Friendship, or Eros, "I forgive you as a Christian" is merely a way of continuing the quarrel. Those who say it are of course lying. But the thing would not be falsely said in order to wound unless, if it were true, it would be wounding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do all things with love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2088]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do all things with love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion.
