Love is the key to the universal creative force and understanding compassion.
It's the key to changing the world.
The key to destroying the ego.
It's the fundamental key we need in order to go to the next stage of evolution.
I would agree to everything you say with the exception of destroying the ego. The ego imo needs to be loved and acknowledged as well.
Destroying anything has negative connotations and is the opposite of Love.
If love is the key, it should be unconditional perhaps?
Peace,

Yet, to some, love is obsession.
Love, like every concept, has a dark side.
Pretending otherwise is not safe.
Might as well say "Spork is the key."..............

The dark side of love is attachment. That's why detachment is part of enlightenment.
Then in certain contexts enlightenment is horrible....
Case in point that would make sociopathy enlightenment.
