Love is the answer to the final question you ask.
Divine love, unutterable and perfect, flows into a pure soul the way that light rushes into a transparent object. The more love that it finds, the more that it gives itself; so that, as we grow clear and open, the more complete the joy of loving is. And, the more souls who resonate together, the greater the intensity of their love, for, mirror-like, each soul reflects the other's.
Ever it has been that love knows not its own depth till the hour of separation.
Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.
For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation...so we must not forget, when we love, that we are beginners, bunglers of life, apprentices in love and must learn love...
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
with spiritual lessons to be learned from each...
but rather, by the number of events that take your breath away.
Intelligence and imagination are the ultimate aphrodisiacs...
And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make...
Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness the energy of love, and then, for the second time in the history of the world, man will discover fire.
It is wrong to think that Love comes from long companionship or persevering courtship.
it will not be created in years or even generations.
You are my sympathy — my better self, my good angel — I am bound to you with a strong attachment. I think you good, gifted, lovely — a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart — it leans to you, draws you to my centre and spring of my life, wraps my existence about you — and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one.
Seduce my mind and you can have my body, find my soul and I'm yours forever.

no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should.

Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me.

But all what I have learned in this life has lead to this point in time,
and that is LOVE is all that matters, to love unconditionally.
You may say, "But how I can I love that person that did this harm to me?"
To answer that is to ask what lesson did you learn from that harm...
And the next answer is, when you look at this person that hurt you,
look past his/her physical body and see the soul/spirit/essence, in that person
and know that they are beings of love and light as you are...
They may not be aware of it, but you are, and that is all that is needed
for you to see that light shining within them...
And know that one day they too will see that light within themselves and forgive themselves...
What you think, you do... What you feel, you attract...
What you imagine, you become...
I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived — this is to have succeeded.
~~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Out beyond ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing there is a field.
