love. men have disgraced you, tampered with your sovereignty. you're a diamond entombed in mud. occasionally, some will exhume you to your former your luster. but more often than not, they blame you for their failures, their mistakes, the consequences of maltreating your power. they associate their pain with you. how could they? love. you are far from these. these miseries, these complications, these misfortunes are far from you. and they push you away. love. they reject you. they consider you as evil. even men's religions and philosophies condemn you. and they use these to defile your name. it is not you. it is how they practise you. they have made their sins synonymous with you. they mask their trespasses with you. but without you, a dismal world this would become, though it already is. love.
