Need-love and Children.

Posted in Bodies in Love, C.S. Lewis, Kinder by ddthesis on January 4, 2009

Citing children as an example of need-love seems a little objectivist. Children don’t know that they need. And if they are loved by unselfish parents, they won’t come to that realization until they grow to the point of learning to love others.

Need-love seems to me to be a love born of understanding, reflection, resignation – not just need.
