“True love – and you can’t get around this one – is optimistic….  in that word ‘love’ there is an unshakable, undeterred optimism….  the optimism of love is not a mental trick, as if by thinking positively only good things will happen.  The optimism that comes from a Jesus Creed kind of love becomes optimistic because it believes and hopes in God.” (p 163-164)

How unshakable is love?
