A heart that loves purely, when corrupted by selfishness and perversion, will find it difficult, even almost impossible, to recapture that pure love. The heart needs to go through that moment of letting go, the pain of fiery grace, a conversion of soul, before it can be restored to that state where it is ready to love purely again.
Most people believe that once people gain their freedom from oppressors, they became free. History shows that's not necessarily true. Our oppressors are not outside us but within us--pride, fear, covetousness... These sinful vices keep people in bondage using chains that no amount of uprising can break.
