I have been a teacher myself all my life. I have an intense passion to share with people. Our only salvation is in knowledge, in learning.
Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love.
The purpose of life is to help others, and if you can't help them, won't you at least not hurt them? I know that is a platitude, that that is sentimental and can easily be attacked. But loving, caring is simple, and we make it complex. Our own neuroses make it complex.
