It always seems as though the definition of love will remain debatable by an opinionated world.

Every stance unchallenged is positioned to boast on some victorious moral high ground.

The only sort of pride that may serve a man well on that rarest occasion is his hatred of being wrong. It keeps his mouth shut, his ears open, and his research extensive.
