Love can't be conceptualized. For example,
this is an experience I went through, and everyone
who's seriously ill goes through. One of the things that
an ill person finds most annoying is when the priest comes to visit him and starts saying to him,
"God is with you," and so on. Or the relative comes,
or the aunt, or the grandmother, and they talk to him and talk and talk. And they try to justify to him that he has to have
a positive attitude in life. Nothing gets through to him
because there is no love there. To love a sick person
is to put oneself in his place. And he wants to be looked at, to be held by the hand,
and for you to keep quiet. It is the way to express closeness. Love is closeness
