The Invisible Epidemic: How Egoism Is Destroying Civilisation and How We Can Stop It

Stop and look

You do not resolve it by ceasing to love. That would be like stopping your heart so it no longer hurts. No pain - but no life either.

And you don't resolve it by letting love burn freely, without any consciousness. That is what most people do: they love blindly, chaotically, with all their force - and leave behind burns they don't see, because they are too busy with their own eruption.

The solution - and I say it with all the humility of a man who has himself made mistakes in love, not of a guru preaching from a mountaintop - the solution is this:

Do not stop the eruption. But stop, from time to time, and look around. See whether you are burning someone.
