“…Love means creating for another the space in which he might flourish, at the same time as he does this for you.” [Philosopher, Terry Eagleton] To “flourish” means to make steady progress. A person who is flourishing is “thriving” in a good and positive way. This is what we desire for those we love. We attempt to assist this flourishing in practical ways for those we love.

Please, what is your citation for the quote by Terry Eagleton - I cannot find it.
Hi Michael;
In my notes, I have the source of the Eagleton quote as a book titled: “The Meaning of Life: A Very Short Introduction” by Terry Eagleton. I’m sorry but I did not write down the page number of the quote. I hope the title of the book will be of some help.
Happy New Year!
Blessings,
Dan
@Michael - that Eagleton book is published by Oxford University Press.
