The Meaning of Love
The Greeks broke love down for us into categories: Eros, or sexual love; Philios, or love of friends, love in return for love; And Agape, or unconditional love, the love of God for humanity.
Then there is the idea that love is intertwined with death. Andre Breton, in The Lost Steps tells us, "Pardon me for thinking that, unlike ivy, I die when I become attached." And Albert Camus: "Love demands the impossible, the absolute, the sky on fire, inexhaustible springtime, life after death, and death itself transfigured into eternal life."

Our Own Wonderful Infinite Nature
"Give me my robe, put on my crown; I have Immortal longings in me," Shakespeare instructs us. But do we? Is there a part of us that is infinite, or is immortality just a longing? There are at least parts of our beings that are infinite, according to Shakespeare: "What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god."
Our infinite nature is not just fodder for the poets. Einstein came to the conclusion that "the infinite nature of man includes the universe." Kierkegaard explained our existence in this way: "Man is a synthesis of the infinite and the finite, of the temporal and the eternal, of freedom and necessity, in short a synthesis. A synthesis is a relation between two factors. So regarded, man is not yet a self."
