Love: The Key to Happiness

We all want to be happy all the time and never want to suffer, but it's often a struggle to find the lasting happiness and satisfaction we seek. Buddha taught that love is the great protector: it protects us and others from harmful actions and suffering, and a loving heart inspires us to treat others with consideration and kindness. However, our love is often mixed with attachment, which makes us possessive, anxious, and easily hurt.
