"Looking at it more closely we can see that “Love” is one of the most abused and misunderstood words. We mistake things like gratification, sentimentality, obligation, duty, passion, desire, and other superficial emotions, ideas and conditioned concepts as “Love” in order fill something that is lacking within us. These distortions are also used (unconsciously) as buffers to avoid facing reality as it is by looking at the world with rose-colored glasses on, instead of seeing oneself and the world more objectively beyond appearances."

Nice article - very agreeable to my thinking.

Love is essentially a metaphysical artefact that is at the root of all things. When people are struggling with "what is love?" is often done in the realm of what is known of the physical experience.

That is true, I think the word 'love' is the problem here as it is too vague. I think it is in China they have many different words for love and the different aspects of it such as love for your partner and love for your children etc (that may be wrong but you get the idea). I don't follow the whole love and light thing as it stinks of being a controlled social movement, but, the basic principles of acting lovingly as in being kind, generous, pleasant towards one another at all (or most) times can only be a good thing. If people find happiness in this then I am happy for them.
