Love can't be turned on as an award. It can't be slowed down as a discipline. Simply something else purporting to be love can be used as a draw, as a catch, for skillful deception, imitated, suggested, yet the real deal can never be conveyed in case it doesn't spring wholeheartedly from the heart.
This doesn't suggest that warmth grants harming and severe practices to carry on without some kind of imposed limit. Love supports value and battles when harm is being done. Love points out the consequences of hurting oneself or others. Love licenses space for shock, dejection, or misery to be imparted and conveyed. However, love doesn't do whatever it may take to hold itself if it doesn't get what it needs. Love doesn't say, clearly or by suggestion, "on the off chance that you are a horrendous youngster, Mom won't appreciate you any longer." Love doesn't say, "Daddy's girl doesn't do that." Affection doesn't say, "Expecting you should be revered, you ought to be perfect," or "Do what I want," or "Never love some other individual," or "Assurance you won't ever leave me."
