Does love mean crime?
score:7
Swapnil,
Love does never conquere anger and hatred but is actually the reason of it.
Look how angry you are, aren't you? And why?
Love is simply greed and it's not proper to blame another trader of not taking your deal, or?
Of course it's not a crime perse, but actally the reason for all crimes in this world. To deal unfair, in cases where others do not like to trade with this dangerous item, lead also often to direct "love-crimes"
That is why the Buddha and wise people taught and teach, "Suffering comes from what is dear" and to make best nothing neither dear nor put anger into it.
And since no being loves any thing more as him/herself, on should not harm others and derive them from their beloved.
(Note: This is a gift of Dhamma and not meant for commercial purposes or other wordily gains.)

Love is a hard word to interpret. For simplicity let's use the two generally used words
- Selfish love
- Unconditional love
Selfish love is generally unhealthy and in a Buddhist context means "loba" (craving) and may lead to "dwesha" (anger). This is harmful for you and the other person.
Unconditional love is generally healthy and in a Buddhist context means "alobha" (non craving) and usually is also "adhosha" (non angry). This is not harmful for you and the other person.
In normal life, love is something which mixes these two from time to time; hence a mix of good and bad.

You can see how anger causes more anger? Aversion causes more aversion? The ideal in Buddhism would be if you could cultivate wisdom or metta. Then you could better keep loving other people as friends regardless of hate or love. Acceptance of the anger, equanimity, impartiality and loving everyone even when you are loving just one. No one can hurt your feelings, we all hurt our own feelings by reacting to them. -metta
