Love makes solutions clearer

You might wonder how you know what the loving thing to do is. You won’t always, but once you frame the problem that way, it is surprisingly easy to come up with a productive, low-stress response that makes you (and others) better off.

Dilemmas almost always trigger some sort of fear or aversion, and so that’s the mode of thinking we first bring to our responses. We feel like we have to evade, ignore or destroy the problem. Identifying the loving response starts your problem-solving in a totally different place, putting the well-being of the people involved at the North on your compass, instead of feelings of relief or escape.
