Love in all its forms is the basis of creative power, active care for life, responsibility for life and respect for life. The practical experience of love takes the form of a purely personal experience that can only be felt by each person alone and from within. The main condition for achieving this feeling is overcoming one's own narcissism and then acquiring the ability to adopt an objective image: to see people and things as they really are. The art of loving depends on the ability to grow, to develop a creative orientation towards the world and towards oneself. The inner process, however, requires a radical social change that allows the loving nature of man to merge with his social existence.
