Philosophical Insight of the Week

"The Test of Love"

Do people get tired of each other after being together for a long time? At first, love feels like magic: endless conversations, laughter, and newness. But what happens when silence fills the space, and arguments replace joy?

The real test of love isn’t in the fireworks. It’s in the quiet moments when words run dry. Love grows not in grand gestures but in the choice to stay, even when it feels easier to walk away.

Reflection: How do you nurture love when the initial spark fades?

Poem to Stir the Soul

"Love’s Quiet Strength"

Love begins in a spark, so vivid, so bright,
But its depth is revealed in the softest of light.
Not in the thrill of something new,
But in the days you see each other through.

Reflect: How has love transformed in your life over time?
