Hesed we shalom my dear brothers and sisters in Christ..So often that we saw people strangled between love and money..Which one to be Yes and which one to be the No?I'm very please to hear people will choose money over love, because they are being 'normal' in this modern world..money:the new jurisdiction of human kind..love:the past law of authority of human beings..For me personally,love is fragile and cannot be trusted easily unless you have to give 'heavy maintenance' to it without using any money..But sadly,many people try to figure it,how to maintain a good 'love'? When they failed to figure it out,they starting to use money to 'repair' everything..All things seem right,but hold it for a few moments,did it right to use this method?money as the 'juridiction'?that the point..
The picture above mentioned only about Yes and not No..So, the only allowed analogy here is Yes and no No..(will be continued)

From the encyclical of Pope Benedict XVI, Caritas in Veritate ''Only in truth does charity shine forth, only in truth can charity be authentically lived. Truth is the light that gives meaning and value to charity. That light is both the light of reason and the light of faith, through which the intellect attains to the natural and supernatural truth of charity: it grasps its meaning as gift, acceptance, and communion. Without truth, charity degenerates into sentimentality. Love becomes an empty shell, to be filled in an arbitrary way. In a culture without truth, this is the fatal risk facing love. It falls prey to contingent subjective emotions and opinions, the word “love” is abused and distorted, to the point where it comes to mean the opposite. Truth frees charity from the constraints of an emotionalism that deprives it of relational and social content, and of a fideism that deprives it of human and universal breathing-space. In the truth, charity reflects the personal yet public dimension of faith in the God of the Bible, who is both Agápe and Lógos: Charity and Truth, Love and Word.''
As we could say that love is being downgrade to sentimentality alone.So,'love' is not a right word to get a true picture about our Yes.'love' and Love is two similar things but not the same things.Love is translated from Charity which define the truth in this matter.Without truth we will tempted to blindly misguide others. In a rude manner to say, 'love' became hostage for the people to cover wickedness deliberately or not. Well my brothers and sisters, let move to Truth because with it we will frees 'love' and gracefully be given Love purely from God who is indeed merciful and Full of Love.
