Love is a faculty, force..fibre

‘Love is not primarily a relationship to a specific person; it is an attitude, an orientation of character which determines the relatedness of a person to the world as a whole, not toward one “object” of love. Yet, most people believe that love is constituted by the object, not by the faculty.’ Eric Fromm

Love has been metaphorically compared to battle or combat as in Pat Benetar’s song ‘Love is a Battlefield’ or the saying ‘All is fair in love and war’ and countless other works. But true love is a creative force not a destructive one. It is a force to be reckoned with.
