"Culture gives us an ultimatum:
If Truth > Love, you fight. If Love is > Truth, you flee.
Is there an alternative?
The cross where Jesus died is the perfect intersection of love and truth. That is the central message of Christianity.
God is love. God is truth. In Jesus, truth = love.
Authentic Christianity rejects the ultimatum that you must choose between truth and love. In Jesus, truth and love are one and the same.
When people catch a glimpse of love and truth in unity, it reaches to the deepest desires of the human heart.
It comes down to two questions: Do we love the truth? Does the truth love us?”

Dare we ask if all you said was true? :)
I believe truth might edge out love, at least love is meaningless without accompanying truth.

Love in the biblical sense isn't romantic love it's wanting the greatest good for the other person it's a self sacrificing love so yes Jesus is love and truth because Jesus knows what is best for us and the world only wants the worst for us.

It comes down to do you love and obey Jesus or the world as you can't have both and to be saved for the next world you need to die to the world spiritually to live in Jesus.

I've never looked at it this way. Some of what you say makes sense. The part I least understand is the last sentence.
"Does the truth love us?"

I wondered that I took it to mean does Jesus (being the Truth) love us which would be yes.

Clarification please!
