Will we ever take a step forward?
" Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offence and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.
I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it to the earnestness of others.It was, I remembered thinking, the most difficult walk anyone ever had to make.In every way, a walk to remember.In front of God and everyone else, I'd promise my love and devotion, in sickness and in health, and I'd never felt so good about anything.It was, I remember, the most wonderful moment of my life.It is now forty years later, and I can still remember everything from that day. I may be older and wiser, I may have lived another life since then, but I know that when my time eventually comes, the memories of that day will be the final images that float through my mind. I still love her, you see, and I've never removed my ring. In all these years I've never felt the desire to do so. "`` A Walk to Remember ; Nicholas Sparks

I wonder if it is going to remain this way forever.
