As such it is beyond any dualities. Tolle said that Being has three attributes, peace, joy and love. I agree with him. I would say that evolution is love in action. How I'd interpret vs. 10 of St. Paul's quote: when a person operates from the Being attribute of love, they see perfection everywhere. That is how imperfection disappears. I'm on you side, Lovely.

If one is not totally conditioned by society, then one experiences love along with various emotions. At its deepest level, love is not overshadowed by anything because it includes them all. In terms of evolution, fear is the most primitive of emotions. All other emotions evolved later. Maybe you are meaning this below. (1 Corinthians 13) If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 13 Now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. --- <sharelong60@...> wrote : I think one key to emotional good health is to be able to genuinely love a person even while not liking or even hating what they do. --- <awoelflebater@...> wrote : That is fascinating Share. I don't agree with that at all. Emotional good health might be related to loving another genuinely but I know that true emotional honesty also comes with acknowledging that some actions or beliefs of your loved one are not lovable and to experience that with all the implications that might lead to is the way to go, for me at least. There are moments when I might feel real anger or disgust toward my "loved ones" and in that moment the love has taken a second row seat although it's still in the audience. Love is great but so are all the other emotions you might experience in a day or a week or a year and this includes other things than love. I think it is mood making if one weren't to acknowledge that one's "loved ones" can't be unlovable in moments or are seriously flawed and in those moments love can be overshadowed because one is being honest.
