Is the need to be together as one.

It’s flavor arises from being together.

It comes from the instinct of needing to be together.

All depends on whether wisdom or ignorance reigns.

Sexual pleasure is another story,

merely the wages paid by and for

the sake of the reproductive instinct,

which depends on a gland in the body.

Love is mental;

Sexual pleasure is physical.

Sexual pleasure is a matter of ignorance;

Sexual pleasure seizes upon love,

Arising more or less, depending on

how much ignorance reigns.

We ought to apply love only virtuously.

Sexual desire is unlikely to be virtuous even just a little.
