This amounts to refuting the definition of love as
being 'the absence of hate'.
Love is so much more than the absence of hate. The
absence of hate is less than the meaning of love.
OK, like what? If 'suffering' is less than the meaning
of dukkha, tell me more. What is more than
'suffering'? Is mild annoyance, certain frustration,
certain disagreability, the thing that's more than
'suffering'?
