“Aporia”
Published by shellypruittjohnson
My name is Shelly Johnson, and I am a writer and philosopher with a Ph.D. in philosophy. One of my primary personal and philosophical interests is how we can learn to love ourselves and each other better in order to cultivate personal and political resilience. I teach ethics and a variety of other courses at a local college. I am the author of the blog Love is Stronger. I am also the author of three logic and critical thinking books for high school and middle school: _Argument Builder_, _Discovery of Deduction_ (co-author), and _Everyday Debate_, published by Classical Academic Press.

Thank you for this “documentation” of personal doubt and aporia. Sometime this feeling is stronger than love, though it is healthy to doubt, I think!
You are welcome, Friend. I was thinking today that I so often write about Love because of the way it has been a healing presence in my life. What I don’t often express as well is how profoundly doubt and even despair and hopelessness played (and still plays) a role in my becoming more receptive to Love. And, I still have many days when I feel doubt more than Love. And I honor all of those days.
