suggested reading... Whelan's exhortation
Joseph Whelan wrote something that Socrates and Plato likely would have agreed with regarding 'what to fall in love with.' Whereas these three men's idea of God/Wisdom/Truth/Goodness would differ in some respects (as yours may differ), in many respects their ideas would be the same. The general exhortation remains the same regardless of the final definition. Right now, your love should include growth as a physician, but this should not be your ultimate love.
