When Love Becomes Both Heaven and Hell

Have you ever noticed how the same love that brings us deepest joy can also deliver our greatest pain? Consider the parent who would die for their child, yet finds themselves suffocating that child with anxious control. Or the passionate lover whose devotion slowly curdles into possessive jealousy. C.S. Lewis, writing in 1960 after experiencing both the ecstasy of late-life marriage and the agony of losing his wife to cancer, understood this paradox intimately. His book "The Four Loves" emerged from this crucible of experience, offering insights that feel startlingly relevant in our age of both digital connection and profound loneliness. What Lewis discovered might surprise you: our capacity to love deeply is inseparable from our capacity to suffer deeply, and the very loves we think will save us can become the demons that destroy us-unless we understand their proper place in the architecture of human existence.
