Actualization

By Kevin Funnell

We interrupt our petty sniping and mock-angry blasts at various targets of opportunity to bring you this brief public service announcement:

"Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of the what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true."
---Viktor Frankl, Man's Search For Meaning.

Please resume focusing on the more important issues of the day while I take a breather and help a beloved person actualize her potentialities.
