Reply To: Theological Conundrum (read at your own risk)

Patur, if you see a boy drowning you will jump in and save him. (Right?) Will you be doing that because of fame, money or exercise? Will you have any motive in mind other than that it just simply has to be done?

I would save him. But that doesn’t explain why it has to be done.

When you arrange things for someone you love, while assuming they will never become aware of what you’ve done, what is your motivation?

Would you love someone if you got absolutely nothing out of the relationship.

It seems that the answer to everything is that intellectually speaking it doesn’t make sense, but you just feel it (which I’ll admit, I do). But that means that if someone doesn’t feel it, or if he has other feelings drawing him in the opposite direction, there shouldn’t be anything wrong with that. Except for that he doesn’t have the proper feeling. But why is there something wrong with not having the proper feeling.
