I repeat what I always say:
Any love that is not critical, conditional, realistic, tough and
dialectical, leading to a qualitative transformation, reflection,
critical dialogue, learning and wellbeing, is not worth it and does
not deserve the label 'love'. Same goes for wisdom, life and
everything else.
