Love is the deep abiding gratitude for and appreciation of the object loved. If you have that in your heart, it cannot be a narcissistic motivation; it's a pure, pure heart.
Imagine if the word 'love' meant something deeper, something more universally powerful. In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles sits down with Lawrence McGrath, an 85-year-old author with a fascinating life story. From marine pilot to college president, McGrath has seen it all and now shares his profound thoughts on love, gratitude, and appreciation. He argues that love is often misunderstood and suggests a new definition: a deep, abiding gratitude for and appreciation of the object loved.
This fresh perspective, he believes, can transcend religious dogmas and unite humanity. McGrath also emphasizes the importance of compassion and awareness in fostering a healthy lifestyle. He notes that while the meaning of things may evolve and become challenging as we age, maintaining a consciousness of our surroundings and ourselves can lead to a more fulfilling life.
The episode wraps up with McGrath's heartfelt plea for listeners to practice gratitude and appreciation daily, offering a simple yet transformative approach to life.
