When Love & Kindness are the same thing, they are both emotional needs.
When I need love because my emotional energy is low, I turn to my kind for their attention to my need.
This is the basis of relationship & friendship.
Friendships & co-dependent relationships are there specifically to mutually meet emotional needs.
My own kind are kind to me and offer their kindness in the form of the love that I need.
I need the love of kind people, my kith & kin, and I need their kindness because I love it and I value it when I need it.
Kindness is a virtue, although it is not a pure wavelength of emotional energy.
It has a gender opposite of envy and may be perceived from opposing perspectives as either a positive or a negative virtue.
Pure love is an undivided wavelength of emotional energy that is without any duality of gender or polarity.
I emanate a vibration of pure love by overcoming the need for love and the need to give or receive kindness.
