Scott Peck and his perspective on love






The Road Less Travelled man - 
Scott Peck MD, 
worked in the field of applied psychology explored the definitions of love and evil.
 
Peck maintains that love is a combination of the concern
for the spiritual growth of another, 
and simple narcissism. 
In combination, 
love is an activity, 
not simply a feeling.





Scott Peck and his perspective on love
(in one of my favourite books:: 
The Road Less Travelled)  
is that:: 

"..... love is not a feeling, 
it is an activity and an investment.
Love is primarily a concern for the spiritual growth of another.
Love cannot be sustained by mutual dependence, rather,
love between two parties 

is made stronger when they are
completely independent of one another."
