Love

When I was a freshman in high school, I went to some sort of workshop at a NFTY event run by Rabbi Arnold Jacob Wolf, z"l. I don't remember what this particular workshop involved, but I remember Rabbi Wolf coming up with a definition of love. He said that love is an entirely selfless thing, not a give-and-take situation. At the time, though I was in love, I did not believe him. When my love died, I understood what he meant. I would have given anything for her.
