A very interesting observation about love

Artist: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

The following passage is by Howard Thurman. It's something to think about the next time we are faced with hostility or indifference in another person:
Here is a mystery: If sweeping through the door of my heart there moves continually a genuine love for you, it by-passes all your hate and all your indifference and gets through to you at your center. You are powerless to do anything about it. You may keep alive in devious ways the fires of your bitter heart, but they cannot get through to me. Underneath the surface of all the tension, something else is at work. It is utterly impossible for you to keep another from loving you.
