When we say “God is good” we don’t mean that God is kind of like other things that are good. We mean that God is the standard that we measure all good things by. Something is only “good” as far as it is like God. It’s not like there’s is a checklist of traits that God meets. God is the standard. God is good.
Same goes with “God is Love”. It doesn’t mean that He loves us by meeting our expectations and imagination on how to be loved. We mean that God is the standard that guarentees the true Joy of loving. For Love is only Love as far as it is like God, it is not just His characteristic quality, not just something He does. God is the standard, God is Love.

the biggest thing that people get wrong about Irene Adler, even more than making her a love interest (Holmes respects her because she defeated him and then left) or a recurring character (she’s in one story) is giving her an English accent
it is 100% canon that she is from New Jersey

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the workers to gather wood, don’t divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) French writer, aviator
