“Love means to love that which is unlovable, or it is no virtue at all; forgiving means to pardon the unpardonable, or it is no virtue at all; faith means believing the unbelievable, or it is no virtue at all; And to hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all.“ ~ Jhem Marquez
I found that quote on Facebook and really like it, but when I started thinking about it, I thought of these words by the Beatles:
“There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done. Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung. Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game, It’s easy. There’s nothing you can make that can’t be made. No one you can save that can’t be saved. Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time – It’s easy.” (All You Need Is Love)
If I apply the Beatles’ logic to that quote I find:
- There is no such thing as unlovable if it’s even possible you can love.
- There is no such thing as unforgivable if it’s even possible you can forgive.
- There is no such thing as unbelievable if it’s even possible you can believe.
- And there is no such thing as hopeless if it’s even possible to hope.
As much as I like the quote from Facebook, I have to go with John Lennon on this one.
