like a fire

I recently heard an idea that was new to me and I was so taken back by it that I’m not sure if I agree or not. Basically, if we are created for relationships (I believe we are) then everyone responds to everything out of either fear or love. If that’s true, then every situation we find ourselves in we are faced with the decision to react out of fear or love. In all relationships we act out of fear or love.

I think that if this is true, then it certainly isn’t always a conscious choice. I don’t usually think in every situation about whether I will act out of fear or love, but I can see it play out that way. So I guess what I am getting at is answering the questions, “how conscious can we become of this decision to act?”, “Can we always choose love?”, “Is Love love always better?”
