標題Truth and Love

. . . in us men truth and love are seldom combined.
It is also possible to say precisely why. Truth seduces us very easily into
a kind of joy of possession: I have comprehended this and that, learned it,
understood it. Knowledge is power. I am therefore more than the other man who
does not know this and that. I have greater possibilities and also greater
temptations. Anyone who deals with truth--as we theologians certainly do--
succumbs all too easily to the psychology of the possessor. But love is the
opposite of the will to possess. It is self-giving. It boasteth not itself,
but humbleth itself.
by Helmut Thielicke in "A Little Exercise for Young Theologians"
我想這就是為什麼耶穌說最大的真理是愛(愛神愛人)
任何其他的真理,沒有了愛,其實就不再是真理了...
