The satisfaction of knowing one acts in accordance with the Author's intent? That assumes there is a play going on and we've all been given our lines.If love is a physical process it has no meaning. In the absence of a god, any feeling of love or movement towards desired ends are the inevitable outcome of initial conditions over which you had no control.
You assume that life, and love, only have meaning if you can call it objective. All this tells me is that your life means only what your dogma says it means, which is that you are the tool of some distant and uncaring god, to be used as he wishes, discarded if he wants, and love him no matter what he does to you. If souls were real, God would be crushing them.
