It’s almost as if nobody wants to admit that they might not be prepared to do the work it takes to love somebody. And it can be laborious. To be intimate with someone who is flawed (which is the standard) requires us to expose our own flaws. We don’t talk about the heavy responsibility of that. We don’t talk about how we’re too lazy or too cowardly sometimes. We instead accuse love of being elusive. It isn’t. It is omnipresent. It asks us to be better people. And sometimes we flat out refuse.

On this day in 1944, Leila Khaled, Palestinian revolutionary, was born in Haifa.

If you have time today, you should read her autobiography from 1973: My People Shall Live. Here’s a free PDF.
