when you don't have enough water it's the most important thing in the world and your entire being centers around water and getting more water. when you do you don't think about it, it fades away into the background, you get it when you need it
love can be like this

there's a spiritual / psychedelic / meditative / w/e insight people describe using words like "love is the answer" or "love is all there is" and from my pov it is slightly misworded. the version of this i've encountered is that many of us live in love deserts, in droughts of love

it is possible to be satiated with love and when you are you find that you are not done, there is quite a lot more to do, you just have new problems. the bottleneck becomes things other than love, e.g. wisdom or power

love isn't the only answer you need by a long shot but it can be a *foundation* on which everything else is built. it can be the background, the water we swim in, the air we breathe. this is why my preferred phrasing is "love is where we belong"

love is a place and we belong there, and it is terrible not to be there, and once we are there we will have *many other things to do*. let us build farms and houses and gardens in love, let us make of love a home and a village, let us prepare love for our children to inherit

I take love (or loving kindness) to be the human scale manifestation of that which brings together and sustains all life.
From this perspective, these pronouncement appear accurate but so cryptic as to be uninformative.
