The wedding guest replied that genuine love is always universal. What warmth is in the realm of things, love is among souls. In fact, warmth cannot be confined. Even with the best thermos, hot tea will eventually give off its warmth to its surroundings, and from there the warmth spreads throughout the cosmos. While light can be let in or shut out, warmth cannot be constrained; it knows no boundaries, it is boundless. That is how love should be. Like warmth, it permeates everything, flowing throughout the entire universe. Like warmth, differences are only because what is close is warmed, loved, sooner than what is distant.
