I would agree that justice is an expression of love and that there is no true love without justice. Love without justice is a charade. What angers me is how we piecemeal love! We cut and divvy it up; shower it on some and hold it back from others; as if it is exclusively ours to give and control. For me love is like a tsunami that washes over us, tumbling us with joy and pleasure. It is sensual! It can overwhelm us! It is not ours to control. I do not subscribe to Lewis' attempt to classify and rank love. All kinds of love are aspects of divine love. All loves are doors to the divine. We should be grateful for any love we can feel and embrace. There is a saving grace in our ability to feel love. Give me someone who has a passion about trains over someone who is emotionally aloof. I am sure Jesus consorted with prostitutes, yes, because they were sinners, but also because at least they knew something about love, more than than the self-righteous Pharisees! He enjoyed their company! I am ranting here, excuse me, but it is an emotional subject for me! No pun intended!
