Love or volition does not do anything without wisdom
or discernment. Since love has neither sensory nor active
life apart from discernment, and since love leads
discernment into all the functions of the mind, it follows
that love or volition does not do anything apart from discernment.
What would it be to act from love apart from
discernment? We could only call it something senseless.
Discernment is what shows us what needs to be done and
how it needs to be done. Love does not know this apart
from discernment.
