That which is done out of love always takes place beyond goo

Summary

This quote suggests that acts driven by love transcend conventional moral concepts of good and evil. When someone does something out of genuine love, their actions are not influenced by societal norms or moral judgments, but guided solely by the positive force of love itself. This implies that the intentions behind acts of love are pure and unaffected by moral dualities, emphasizing the transformative power and unconditionality of love. It suggests that acts performed with true love as the motivation are inherently noble and go beyond the limitations of conventional moral understanding.

Even if people do wrong, we're social animals, so what can we do about stopping them doing the same things in future? Saying people are 'bad' or 'evil' is just an unwillingness to engage an unwillingness to try to empathise. That sanctimonious attitude doesn't help anyone.
