You can will an act of service but you cannot will love.

Summary

This quote highlights that while one can consciously choose to perform an act of service for others, genuine love cannot be forced or willed into existence. Love, being an emotion and a deep connection, stems from a genuine feeling of affection and care that cannot be manipulated or controlled through sheer willpower alone. It emphasizes that love is not something that can be commanded or demanded, but rather something that is freely given and felt by individuals.
