Love can never be a sin. It can be only a blessing. Even if you're not loved in return... To love is a proof of life. Indeed, it's the only proof, for once you can't love another human being, you're not alive. It is love itself that is important.. The ability to love, no matter whom you love. For when you can no longer love anyone, you are no longer a living person. The heart dies if it loses the capacity to love.
You are like no other in the world, and not only you, but the humblest and the least beautiful creature also has this precious residue.
Are we to tolerate the stupidity and malice of the small?
Yes, because to destroy them would be to destroy ourselves. None of us is so much better or wiser than any other than he can destroy a single creature without destroying himself.
If life were known one moment ahead, how could it be endured?
Because you have suffered is the one reason why you should never make others suffer. And of what meaning is suffering, if it does not teach us, who are the strong, to prevent it for others? We are shown what it is, we taste the bitterness, in order to stir us to the will to cast it out of the world. Else this world itself is hell.
