The role of love has long been misunderstood. Love is not something we should engage in simply to be considered good or to make the world a better place out of some abstract moral obligation or because we feel we should abandon our hedonism. While it is true that finding the energy to maintain a state of love can have a positive impact on the world around us, its most immediate and profound benefit is to ourselves. Love is, in fact, the most hedonistic thing we can do. It brings us joy, fulfillment, and a sense of purpose. When we love, we open ourselves up to new experiences, new relationships, and new ways of seeing the world. We become more connected to those around us and to the world at large. Love allows us to experience the full range of human emotions, from the heights of ecstasy to the depths of despair. It is through love that we learn to grow, to change, and to become the best versions of ourselves.
