Love isn't physical, it is not skin deep, nor dependent on sex, nor limited by a person's abilities or intelligence. Love is spiritual, spiritual in that it is both immaterial and a union between person which could be called mystical, and not only for spouses but for friends, siblings, coworkers, and even strangers. Since love isn't physical, neither should we rashly judge people by their skin color, their sex, or their limitations. Rather, we should gently judge them by their works, and, harshly judge ourselves, or else endanger ourselves to be rash judges of others and proud judges of ourselves, which is self-righteous.

Love isn't a circle but a bridge; it dose not go back to you but goes back and forth between you and others, given by you to one and one giving back to you, and love giving itself to you so that you can love others, for God is love. The Father gives His Spirit to the Son, and the Son gives His Spirit to the Father and the Spirit gives Himself to the Father and to the Son just as the Father gives Himself to the Son and to the Spirit and the Son gives Himself to the Father and to the Spirit. Each Person is God and God is a continual giving-receiving love, so each Person is love, and thereby God is thrice love, and we ought to be like Him toward others.
