Loving well uses head and heart

Some reduce love to emotion: if they feel it, they go; if not, it fades out. Others turn it into pure calculation, without warmth. Neither of the two loves entirely well. Loving well joins both things: genuine affection and a head that looks to see if that helps the other or not. It is not "love rich only in feeling," but feeling with truth inside. That way affection doesn't become a whim, nor does judgment become dry. In practice it shows: you feel, yes, but you also think about what truly benefits the other person. And you decide from there, not just from the rush of the moment.
