Check out this poignant post by John Carlton on love:
Now… here’s what you may have wrong about this specific brand of love:
It’s NOT the most powerful emotion out there.
Not even close. The really powerful ones are fear, rage and greed.
Those monsters grow without being nurtured, thrive in all conditions, and consume entire realities like an invading predator.
And they will swamp love, barely registering a burp after devouring it. If you let it happen.
No, love is not powerful.
It’s fragile.
You gotta want it. You gotta pursue it. You need to understand it, realize what it is and what it isn’t, what it can and can’t do, where it can be found…
… and, especially, how easy it is to lose.
