Gipsies, who every ill can cure,
Except the ill of being poor
Who charms 'gainst love and agues sell,

Who, as to fortune, can unlock it,
As easily as pick a pocket. — Charles Churchill

I'm sure a lot can be learned about the importance of hormones and their effects on our feelings. But do the bleak implications of evolution have any impact on the love I feel for my family? Do they make me more likely to break the law of flaunt society's expectations of me?

When we forgive someone, we do not forget the hurtful act, as if forgetting came along with the forgiveness package, the way strings come with a violin. Begin with the basics. If you forget, you will not forgive at all. You can never forgive people for things you have forgotten about.

It is why you need to be healed in the first place. — Lewis B. Smedes
