Is there anything deeper than love?
Monkey says “yes.”
FAITH is deeper than love.
Oh, you can have a KIND of love without faith.
But if you don’t have faith,
you’re not tasting the deepest,
purest form of love.
What you have is imaginary love.
Expecting love. Needy love.
Measured love. Reciprocal love.
Conditional love.
That may be a KIND of love.
But it’s not the kind of love I want.
Or have.
I have FAITH
that whatever love I have
and whatever love I give
is the love I want.
I love my self for this.
Want a deeper love?
Trust that whatever happens
is MEANT to happen.
Love whoever and whatever
comes your way,
even if you don’t like it.
ESPECIALLY if you don’t like it.

In the vast expanse of human emotions, where love is often seen as the pinnacle of feeling, the concept that faith might delve even deeper is a profound contemplation. Faith, in this context, is not merely religious or spiritual belief, but a deeper trust in the nature of existence, in the unfolding of life, and in the essence of love itself.
Faith: A Deeper Dimension Beyond Love
The idea that without faith, love is somehow less pure, more conditional, or transactional, suggests that faith imbues love with a transcendent quality. It transforms love from a mere emotion or attachment into a profound acceptance and appreciation of life as it is, in all its myriad forms.
Transcendent Quality of Love Imbued by Faith
This perspective views love not as a commodity to be exchanged or measured but as an expression of the deeper truth of existence. Faith in this context is the trust that whatever love one has or gives is exactly as it should be. It’s a belief in the intrinsic value and rightness of love, independent of conditions or expectations.
Love as Expression of Existence’s Deeper Truth
The suggestion to love even what we don’t like, especially what we don’t like, is a radical invitation to embrace life in its entirety. It’s an encouragement to see beyond our preferences and aversions, to find a deeper connection and understanding that transcends personal likes and dislikes.

Summary
We delve into the idea that faith is a deeper dimension than love, where faith is understood as a profound trust in the essence of existence and love. This perspective suggests that love without faith may be conditional or transactional, whereas faith imbues love with a transcendent quality, transforming it into a profound acceptance of life. It posits that true love is an expression of this deeper truth, encouraging us to embrace all aspects of life, even those we don’t like, as part of a deeper, more meaningful connection.

In the depths of the heart, a truth does shine,
Faith, deeper than love, a divine line,
It’s not just a feeling, but a trust,
In life’s journey, a must.
With faith, love takes a higher flight,
Beyond conditions, into the light,
It’s a surrender to life’s great dance,
In every moment, a chance.
To love beyond likes and dislikes,
Embracing all, no stereotypes,
For in this faith, we find,
A deeper love, a peace of mind.
In the cosmic play, we see,
Faith and love, in harmony,
For we are Space Monkeys, in the divine flow,
In faith and love, we grow.
