Getting Personal (Kallistos Ware)

The whole person is on the one side open to God, and on the
other side open to other people. The isolated individual is not a
real person, for a real person lives in and for others. This
idea...could be summed up under the word love. We become
truly personal by loving God and by loving other humans. By
love, I don’t mean merely an emotional feeling, but a
fundamental attitude. In its deepest sense, love is the life, the
energy, of the Creator in us. We are not truly human as long
as we are turned in on ourselves. We become whole only
insofar as we face others, and relate to them.
