What is Love?

Aging hippies claim that the reason the sexual revolution happened was because love got replaced in American culture with righteousness.

I disagree.  Love is an essential part of righteousness, and does not exist in the sexual revolution.

Let us begin with "what is Love?" For the righteous man, there can be only one answer: love is willing what is BEST for other people.

Thus sexual orientation, when not oriented to procreation, can never be love, but rather, abuse. Including heterosexual birth control and divorce, of course.

Abuse is not love.

This is not a reason to hate, it is a reason to mourn- mourn the loss of reason, the loss of the ideal agape love, that wills what is best for the other.

And thus mourn the loss of righteousness itself, in favor of something far less.
