Right or wrong, my love
How much do you love me?
What an impertinent question!
And totally irrelevant at that!
The point is that I love you,
and more than that I have no right to claim.
For love is only giving, never taking;
when love is made with an agenda
it is not love but politics and egoism,
while love is truth as long as it is given only,
without any reservations or demands,
and if another element is mixed in it,
then just forget it – then it's better
to leave love alone and put it in a nunnery.
And that's the touchstone, which must always be applied
and implemented – the continuous trial,
doubts and questionings, the constant conscience
asking questions of the only valid kind : –
is this then right what I am doing?
It is only right, as long as you are loving.
