Love is an activity,not a passive affect;电影黑名单it is a“standing in”,not a“falling for”.In the most general way,the active character of love can be described by stating that love is primarily giving,not receiving.
The most important of giving,howevver,is not that of material things,but lies in the specifically human .What does one person give to another?He gives of himself,of the most precious thing he has,he gives of his life.This does not necessary mean that he his life for the other-but that he gives him of that which is alive in him;he gives him of his joy,of his understanding,of his knowledge,对甲基苯甲酸of his humor,of his sadness—of all expressions and of that which is alive in him.In thus giving of his life,he enrichs the other person,he enhances the other’s sense of aliveness by enhancing his own sense of aliveness.He dose not give in order to receive;giving is in itself joy.But in giving he cannot help bringing something to life in the other person,and this which is brought to life reflects back to him;in truly giving,he cannot help receiving that which is given back to him.Giving implies to make the other person a giver also and they both

From the outset , goverment participation was viewed as essential . The East Coast intercity lines required relatively modest financial backing and quickly paid for themselves .

With the completion of the New York Central to Chicago in 1853,the Midwest had direct service to the East Coast.
