In case "/path/to/my/lisp/library" is the same path as 
"~/where/my/keybinding/configs" then the last statement allows you to perform 
eight times:

        (load "are.el" t t t)

The variable load-path is similar to the environment variable PATH (or path) 
for (some) shells: it allows to find a command by the file name (for example: 
"ls") or to load an Elisp file by its name (for example: "are.el") instead of 
using the full path name. (When PATH points to the directory with ls, remove, 
compile, why isn't the shell endlessly ls'sing, removing, and compiling?)
