Real love can never be a cause of anger; it is the opposite of anger and can never cause problems. If we love everyone as a mother loves her dearest child there will be no basis for any problems to arise because our mind will always be at peace. Love is the real inner protection against suffering. Love is a virtuous mind motivated by equanimity to which its object appears as beautiful or pleasant.
