You see, I know Aquinas' famous statement on the matter, and consider myself a decently adapted Christian and well-educated, but for some reason I cannot fathom devoting oneself to attaining God's love in this life. To love, one must know, and one cannot know God personally through one's own effort I've become convinced, only become *closer*. The only people that convincingly and coherently speak of God's love are Saints who virtually all led shitty lives previously, so it seems like an opaque matter.
