Part 1
Whoever chooses Love to be his first and last act never loses anything real, regardless what he may be asked to give up in that same moment.
Part 2
The one asleep to himself spends his life pursuing the pleasures he loves, while trying to avoid the pain he fears. This divisive level of love is inseparable from suffering, and remains so until... one realizes that real Love has no "other." To Love means being "one with" (whatever your self reveals) until "death do you part."
