Distortions of love bring misery
"Life springs from love. The origin is love and life seeks love. The goal of life is also love. And, in between, life is sustained by love. There is not a single creature or living entity on this planet that has not known love or is devoid of love. Yet, love in its many distortions has brought so much misery in life."
~ Sri Sri Ravishankar (a commentary on Narada Bhakti Sutra)
