14 posts by you so far, and this is the first one I have read. Hard to say at this point.

Anybody can stab you in the back.
But you must repay love with love
Um no. Humans can have disagreements, and even not love each other, AND at the same time value non violence.
You are right, though. Growing up I cared far too much about what others thought of me, and instead of being myself, I constantly chased other's ideas. Most of the time all that did was disappoint me, or worse, make me a doormat.
When you say "love" I wouldn't put it that way.
I love my species POTENTIAL for diplomacy and non violence. Unfortunately we don't always achieve that. Should we strive for that? Certainly. But while I prefer non violence and pluralism and common law, our species isn't perfect and unfortunately we do have conflicts.
I do LOVE my species POTENTIAL for empathy, compassion and diplomacy. I simply don't ignore the fact we also can be quite cruel as a species to each other.
