When Love Became a Radical Act
We live in a strange paradox. We crave connection yet scroll endlessly through our phones, alone in crowded rooms. We say "I love you" casually but struggle to define what those words actually mean. We watch romantic comedies while our own relationships crumble from neglect. Something fundamental has broken in how we understand and practice love-and this brokenness is killing us slowly, one disconnected interaction at a time. What if love isn't the mysterious, uncontrollable force we've been taught to believe in? What if it's simpler and more demanding than that-a choice we make every single day? This radical reframing transforms everything. Love stops being something we wait to "fall into" and becomes something we actively build through intentional actions. M. Scott Peck offers a definition that cuts through the confusion: love is "the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth." Notice the word "will"-love is volitional, deliberate, chosen. It combines care, affection, recognition, respect, commitment, trust, and honest communication. This isn't the stuff of fairy tales; it's the hard work of showing up consistently for another person's flourishing.
