The mind of love is in the nature of inner peace. Because it is only concerned with benefiting others, it is a selfless and contented mind. Thus, regardless of our external situation, if our mind is filled with love then we are peaceful and happy. We already experience love for our family and our friends. Typically, this love is partially mixed with attachment and we may confuse the problems we experience with our friends and family as coming from our love for them. However, it is our attachment for them to behave a certain way or achieve certain things that causes our problems. If we love our friends and family selflessly–wishing them to experience happiness without additional conditions–then love will never bring us problems. If we then extend our selfless love to all living beings, then our happiness will only increase until we are happy all the time.
