This question is more for quarrelling than for agreement.
God is Love, therefore Love is eternally taught in the Holy Books by His Divine Messengers.
Love has been mentioned from time immemorial, Pluto has been mentioned last century and dethroned by the association of scientists last month. To me Love and Pluto are mysterious because they are creared things of the eternally mysterious God.
As a believer in the One True God, I concentrate on learning about Love and realize that it is the source and foundation of all existence. It is the most beautiful thing cherished in all hearts, and expressed amazingly by lovers, mothers, fathers, teachers...but many wars were also waged in its name!
I firmly have great hope for mankind, because the most moving accomplishments were based on Love, not Pluto or War.
Other people are free to learn about Love, Pluto or War. But I heartfully wish to learn only about Love and to mention it on any forum. Because LOVE is the beginning of all good.

Pluto, the last planet to join the heavenly pantheon, became the first to leave it. The status of Pluto had been under discussion for some time, but with the discovery of 2003 UB313, nicknamed Xena, the question became acute, for it seemingly had as much right as Pluto to be called a planet.

On August 24, 2006, the International Astronomical Union surprised the world by voting in a new definition of planet, one that would exclude Pluto and bring the total number down to eight. (There had previously been been strong speculation that the redefinition would bring the total up to 12 instead of down.)

Pluto was instead classified as a dwarf planet, along with Ceres and the aforementioned Xena. The main difference between a dwarf planet and the real thing is that the dwarf variety has not cleared the area of its orbital path.

This redefinition met with a wave of protests from those who wanted to see the ninth planet grandfathered in, including but not limited to supporters of the late Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered Pluto in 1930. His widow, however, said he would have been accepting of the IAU's decision since "he was a scientist" and understood that astronomers had to take into account newly discovered objects in the Kuiper Belt (where Pluto is located).

But opponents of Pluto's demotion remain unconsoled and have generated a thriving industry in T-shirts, mugs and other memorabilia. Among the many slogans of this movement was one which played on the mnemonic for the names of the erstwhile nine:

It is evident that you ramble on saying little, and the reason for your post is mysterious.
