All Love Is Tough Love: If It Isn’t Tough, It Isn’t Love
The tough part about loving someone
is that connection supports autonomy–
It’s tough to love someone enough
to grant them their freedom
and you can only do so
if you trust the connection
Control poisons connection–
It’s not impossible to control someone;
it happens all the time
But it is impossible to control them
and love them at the same time
Accordingly, God is love
but do
you
trust the connection?
