The isolated individual is not a real person. A real person is

one who lives in and for others. And the more personal

 relationships we form with others, the more we truly realize

 ourselves as persons. It has even been said that there can be

 no true person unless there are two, entering into

 communication with one another.

This idea of openness to others could be summed up

under the word love. By love, I don’t mean merely

an emotional feeling, but a fundamental attitude. In its

deepest sense, love is the life, the energy, of God in us.

 We are not truly personal as long as we are turned in

 on ourselves, isolated from others. We only become

personal if we face other persons, and relate to them.
