| When we have love, we will conduct ourselves accordingly. We will not want to say something bad about another person, but rather we will feel pain and sympathy for others, not wishing to offend them.

| The point of this quote by Gerondissa Makrina is that if our souls are full of love we are able to be more empathetic towards others. Sometimes we can be rude, indifferent or unconcerned. But this emotions are destructive. Hatred and other ill feelings get in the way of our ability to connect with people and God. They make us hurt other people and push them away from us, and from God. And love has such a powerful and hopeful effect. I agree with Gerondessa Makrina. From my point of view, lit`s important to remember about the power of love. Sometimes I can be selfish but I know that love can help me overcome my inner struggles and see the pain of others.

| I like the Gerondissa's point of view. Recently I have thought a lot about what Christian true love really is and how should people behave according to it. You know, everyone has their own measure in this world. We need something to draw on when making decisions, treating people, communicating, trying to change ourselves when we feel something is just not right and so on. Some people think first thing first about their benefit, someone's measure is logic, someone's are feelings and heart, someone's is conscience. I think, for Christians the best marker of the righteousness of their words and dids is love. Imagine, if all of us at least tried to think every time before doing something: "Is it an act of love? If I would keep in mind that this person is one of my nearest would I say something offensive to they? Would I treat them this way?". I believe, everyone should start from their own, so, if I would at least try, my life would definitely change to the good and maybe it would affect the surroundings' life too.
