Love is a Religious Problem

"When you confuse personal love and cosmic heroism you are bound to fail in both spheres. The impossibility of the heroism undermines the love, even if it is real.  This double failure is what produces the sense of utter despair that we see in modern man... Love, then, is seen a religious problem" -Ernest Becker
