There are some things we can never know. For one, we can never just exactly what someone else is thinking. We have clues, to be sure, but the knowledge is never absolute. Where love is concerned, the question is seems the most uncertain and the most sure: does she love me? I know she loves me. Something about that emotion drives us to believe in things that were never there, and like to know something without knowing — something about love lets us understand without understanding. And there are other things, too, that we will never truly answer, like the question why. One can always ask it again, even when it has been satisfactorily answered. Too, perhaps one question we will delight in never knowing the answer to: why does she love me?
Then there are things we can know. For some reason, many of us think we do not truly know, never for sure, what is right and what is wrong. We do things and excuse ourselves from blame, for everything is relative. Yet, if somehow someone does us wrong, we immediately take offense. Suddenly, it is quite clear the difference between what does us good and what does us ill. What follows from such a realization is the golden rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Realizing we know when something displeases us, it is just one step away from doing as we like done to us to our neighbors. Ah, but quite a long step that is. We usually don't take it, if history serves. Just so you know, though: we have no excuse not doing so. Just so you know.
Lastly, there are things we imagine we know, but don't. It comes down to a question: is it always right to love? We think we know, the answer is yes. If that is the case, then why don't we? Why? Do you know?

Is there a way that we who love you can make you believe our love is real?
And as a sufferer from another disease - you are right. We have no excuse. Just so you know.
