CHAPTER TWO: THE PERSON AND LOVE
III . MORAL ANALYSIS OF LOVE
15. The commitment to freedom
Only knowledge of the truth about the person makes it possible for a commitment to freedom from it. Love is a commitment freedom : is a gift of himself, and "come" means precisely "to limit their freedom in favor of another" . The limitation of freedom itself could be some negative and unpleasant, but love makes the contrary, positive, happy and creative . Freedom is made for love. If love do not use it, if not profitable, it becomes something very negative, gives man the feeling of emptiness . Love committed to freedom and all that fills naturally attracts the will good. Tends to the good will and freedom is a property of the will, which is why we say that freedom is made for love, thanks to her about everything, the good man participates. For the same reason, freedom occupies one of the first places in the moral order in the hierarchy of the virtues and the good wishes and aspirations of man. He'd love more than freedom: freedom is a means, love is an end. But the man wants true love, because only on the basis of truth can be a genuine commitment to freedom. The will is free, while "should" seek the good that corresponds to their nature, is free in the search and choice, but it is not free from the need to search and choose.
, however, does not support the imposition of a subject as well. Want to pick and assert itself, because the choice is affirmation of the object chosen. So the man who chooses the woman said with it the value of it, but it is important that the value of the person, not just his sexual prowess. Moreover, it imposes itself, while the expected value of the person the statement and the election. Therefore, in the will of a man who had not yet succumbed to the passions, has kept intact its freshness and coolness inside, usually a battle being waged between the trend and sexual freedom. The trend attempts to impose its object and purpose, strives to create a decisive interior. We do not use here the term "sexual orientation" in its full meaning, as we have defined in the preceding chapter: the word here means that not only certain manifestations of this trend, thanks to which sexual values \u200b\u200bsubjugate sensuality and affection of man, and it is dominated by the will. When the will gives the sex appeal, is born of lust. The fans pound of flesh nature and "consumer", to give you a desire of the person of the opposite sex. However, while will not yield to what attracts more than to the senses and feelings, their own creative input in love may not appear.
Love will appear only from the time when man engages his freedom thoroughly for another man as a person, which recognizes and fully affirms the value. Such commitment is not particularly want to forward. Will is a creative power, able to make itself the right to give and not only to assimilate an existing well. The love of desire is expressed mainly in the desire of good for the beloved. The fact the person wanting for himself does not reveal even the potential creator of the will, nor is the love in the positive sense of the word. In his will want the good, the infinite good, namely, happiness. The move towards that well, look for a person and wish for it in very concrete terms, can bring you happiness. The man and woman with mutual wish and desire is love of concupiscence. The senses and feelings contribute. But the love and help that gives an immediate opportunity will, naturally oriented toward the infinite good, namely, happiness, to want the good not only for herself but also for someone else, that particularly which, thanks to the senses and feelings-is the object of lust. This is where it highlights a tension between the dynamism of the trend and the dynamism of the will. The trend makes the will look with lust and desire a person because of their sexual values, but will not be happy at all. It is free, then can wish it all in relation to the absolute good, infinite, with happiness. This ability is precisely this potential natural and noble is the one she undertakes for the other person. Desires for her absolute goodness, infinite happiness and this compensates for the fact inwardly want for herself a person of the opposite sex, pay your ransom. Obviously we understand the word "trend" in its meaning always partial. Will do more than fight the trend, is responsible at the same time, love marriage, which is the natural order. We know your goal is the existence of mankind, which, in particular, is reflected in the existence of a new person, child, fruit of love of man and woman joined in marriage. The will is directed towards that goal and, in trying to achieve, yet seeks to broaden his creative tendency.
In this way, true love, taking advantage of natural dynamism of the will, seeks to introduce in the relations between man and woman a note of radical selflessness, in order to free his love of the attitude of pleasure (in both senses of the word). In this is also what we called "struggle between love and the trend." The trend, mostly want to take, make use of another person, the love, by contrast, wants to create the right, make them happy. Well seen again how penetrated must be married love of all that constitutes the essence of friendship. The infinite desire of good for the other "I" is the germ of all the momentum operator, the true love, drive to the gift of good people loved to make them happy.
This is what is "divine" love . Indeed, when a man wants for another infinite good, God loves this man, because God alone is the fullness of good objective and only God can fill the man well. for its relationship to happiness, that is, with the fullness of good, human love is somehow rubbing with God. Indeed, "full of good" and "happiness" is not often explicitly understood well. "I want your happiness" means "I want what will make you happy, but right now I do not care what is happiness." Only people deeply believers say to each other explicitly : "It is God." The others finish their thoughts, as if dejasen in this election to the beloved: "What makes you happy is what you yourself want, that what you see in the fullness of your own good." Yet all the energy of love is concentrated to exclaim: "I'm the one who wants him for you."
The great moral force of true love lies precisely in this desire for happiness, the true good for someone else. is this force that makes a man reborn through love that gives a sense of wealth, fertility and internal productivity. I can desire the good of another person, then I am capable of desiring the good. True love makes me believe in my own moral forces. Even when I'm "mean" true love, as you awaken in me compels me to seek the true good for the person to which it tends. This is how the affirmation of the value of another person is entitled eigenvalue to the subject, thanks to which, and not solely because of sexual values-born in him a need to wish good to another self. When love reaches its true greatness, gives the relationship between man and woman, not just a specific climate, but also an awareness of all. Love is really the highest moral value. But it is important to know its size to carry everyday. And that's where the problem arises from the love of education.
