The lion shall never lie down with the lamb. The lion eternally shall devour the lamb, the lamb eternally shall be devoured.

One must learn to love, and go through a good deal of suffering to get to it, like any knight of the grail, and the journey is always towards the other soul, not away from it. . . .
