Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket \u2014 safe, dark, motionless, airless \u2014 it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Please follow <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2013\/09\/12\/zen-pencils-cs-lewis_n_3909791.html\" target=\"_blank\">this link<\/a> to enjoy a whimsical yet insightful reminder that &#8220;to love at all is to be vulnerable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amongst all the news stories and articles surrounding the 50th anniversary of C.S.
