Soul searching is what I do

wordsofsolace: This is proven by the love Prophet Yaqoub (as) had for his son, Yusuf (as). Initially he grieved upon losing Yusuf (as), but it was only after being separated from him for many years that Prophet Yaqoub (as) cried to such an extent of losing his eyesight.   {And he turned away from them and said, “Oh, my sorrow over Joseph,” and his eyes became white from grief, for he was [of that] a suppressor.} - Quran 12: 184

There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which uses love for self-importance. This is the ugly and crippling kind. The other is an outpouring of everything good in you — of kindness and consideration and respect — not only the social respect of manners but the greater respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable. The first kind can make you sick and small and weak but the second can release in you strength, and courage and goodness and even wisdom you didn’t know you had.
