A Different Perspective
May not hold if love is unreciprocated or taken for granted.
![“The first angle is, love questions not. It is not a beggar. ... When love asks nothing, [when it] gives everything. This is the real spiritual worship, the worship through love. Whether God is merciful is no longer questioned. He is God; He is my love. Whether God is omnipotent and almighty…” quote by Swami Vivekananda](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/384/swami-vivekananda-53_almighty_the-first-angle-is-love-questions-not-it_1383380.jpg)
