That’s a powerful statement — almost like a quiet truth wrapped in a warning. It speaks to a deep ideal: that unless love (compassion, intention, care) guides our actions, they’re hollow, maybe even harmful.

But it also assumes something absolute. In real life, people act from many places: fear, duty, habit, even survival. Maybe the point isn’t whether we always act from love — but whether we’re honest enough to return to it when we’ve strayed.
