For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
This is one of my absolute favorite quotes, from an incredible poet/writer. It is not easy to love and anyone who may say otherwise i think is suspect. I mean, sure, it is easy to love when things are happening as you want with whomever, friend, lover, partner, pet, kid...whomever. But, when it is NOT smooth sailing, it can be a challenge to love. And yet, when we can love well...is there nothing better?

This is so true. When it's good there is nothing better, but when it's bad there is nothing worse. Nothing brings more joy or more pain.
