What is love? Where does it come from? Who and what are worthy of love? Is love positive, negative, neutral or a combination of the three? Is it even possible to explain love in earthly terms? I will attempt to answer some of these questions, but I make no promises.
Love, as far as I can tell, is the ability to project yourself and your connection with Allah into wanting the best for someone. Allah exists on a plane of oneness. It goes beyond mere connection. Everything (which also equals nothing, by the way) exists as one. Energy is still energy in any form. Love is what leads you to understand this oneness. Love taps into the connections that we all have to each other and the rest of existence (and non-existence, by the way).
As to whether love is positive or negative depends on one’s definition of positive and negative. If positive is all that’s “good” and negative is all that’s “bad” then love is positive. However, if your definition of positive and negative include the concept of balance then love plays a role on both ends. Without negative, there is no positive. Movement in either direction is positive in terms of the first definition because it equals balance which is a “good” thing. Love is balance- the way Allah holds the oneness together.
People often question, ‘who is worthy of love?” Well, since positive and negative are actually “positive” and we all exist on an infinite plane of oneness which is Allah, we are all equal and important and we each have a specific role in the balance that holds it together. Therefore, all forms of energy deserve love, the pathway to understanding the oneness and accepting it.
