all you need is love

In class on Wednesday, we opened with the question, "if love is the only answer, why are there so many questions?" While that is a very broad question, many classmates were able to bring some interesting answers to the table. One said that there are different kinds of love, which I thought was a very good response. It's true, different kinds of love can answer different questions. It can answer meaning, doubt, etc. I don't believe that love is the only answer, unless we live in a way to make it that. I'm not talking math equations or the distance between two points. I'm talking about questions of self-worth. And, in context with chapter one from Who Are We, if we are Christians than love should be the answer to our questions. I think what Paul was trying to say is that for the questions in life where are left wondering or lost, we should know that there is someone who loves us, and that that love gives us meaning. In that respect, than love could be the answer to our questions. But if that is the case then when love answers, are we to stop questioning?
