Life is a continuous enrichment of existence through the overcoming of all obstacles to life. Life is struggle and overcoming, but life is eternal power and overcoming in the sense that death and killing are overcome by the healing, exuberant force of life which is love. Anyone who believes that he must kill, out of love and solidarity and faithful devotion to the beloved one, destroys by his own act the very object of his enthusiasm and devotion, namely life itself, the community of life. True love is the indissoluble oneness of all that lives. Coming from the Spirit, which is the all-embracing oneness of life, the life power penetrates the movement and joining of souls and leads to physical union in marriage and to the common work.
True love is spirit, is power.
It is life, it is love. Spirit is the power that binds to community, it is the life-unity of the cosmos, it is a bond and a band, it is a circle and a ring, rhythmic movement around the center. Spirit is unity. The Greeks knew this distinction deeply. There are many people who in their inner skepticism have come to the point where love has no meaning for them outside the physical and sensual.
