Sometimes, things just don't make sense. Things that just are so crazy, that there is absolutely no explanation that makes sense. Nothing that makes it understandable. I am going through that right now. Not anything that personally affects me, but something that affects ones that I love.
I see a person that I love, again start making decisions, that alone won't hurt that person, but when one steps back and looks at the big picture, crushes the heart of many around them. Sure, the heart only hurts for a while, but when it does, the pain is like none other.
Why do people continue to be self-destructive, when there are so many that love them, and want with all their hearts to see them succeed? Why do people that are so incredibly talented, continue to surround themselves with people who just want to use them rather than with those who will prop them up? Why do people that could conquer the world with their abilities, continue to have so little confidence in their abilities?
I will quote an incredily young friend of mine, whom I respect immensly. That person wrote me a note one day and quoted an incredible author, They wrote "Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable and it keeps NO record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice, but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance."
That makes sense. Some other things do not.

The quote is originally from Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 13. The version you have is just in layman's terms... Very often used for funerals in the UK upon the loss of a spouse or parent. Also used for marriage to reinforce Love.
