    Exploring bell hooks' transformative vision of love as an active choice rather than just a feeling, and how this perspective can heal both personal relationships and broader social divides.

    Reimagining Love as Radical Action

    Miglior citazione da Reimagining Love as Radical Action

    “

    The word 'love' is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb. It is the will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.

    ”
