Abstract
If love is the greatest reality, and I believe it is, the gentle are more real than the violent or than those like me who hate violence, long for gentleness, but never in our own act achieve true gentleness. We fall in love with people we consider gentle, we love them violently for their gentleness, so violently we drive them to violence, for our gentleness is less real than their breaking patience, so falsely we accuse them of being false.
