sometimes i hate loving you

all hell will break lose when jealousy and love intervene with rational thinking...

"If I speak in the languages of men and of angels,
but have not love,
I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy
and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge
and if I have a faith that can move mountains,
but have not love,
I am nothing.

If I give all I possess to the poor
and surrender my body to the flames,
but have not love,
I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
...when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror;
then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part;
then I shall know fully,
even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain:
faith,
hope
and love.
But the greatest of these is love."
