Love has no errors, for all errors are the want for love.

"Love has no errors, for all errors are the want for love." These words from William Law speak to the divine and perfect nature of love, and to the essential truth that any mistake, failure, or misstep in the human condition arises from a lack of this vital force. Love itself, in its purest and truest form, is without fault—it is an expression of harmony, understanding, and connection that transcends the limitations of the material world. Yet, when we err, when we fall short, it is because we are not rooted in the fullness of love. Every failure, every misjudgment, and every wound that we inflict upon one another can ultimately be traced back to a lack of love—a deficiency of compassion, of understanding, and of the deep, unyielding connection that love seeks to foster.

O children of the earth, understand this: love is not something that can go wrong. It is the very essence of life, the force that binds the universe together. It is through love that we find clarity, peace, and unity. But when we stray from love, when we allow fear, anger, pride, or ego to cloud our hearts, we create what seems like errors. Error arises not from the absence of goodness, but from the absence of love. Love is the root of all that is pure and good; when we lack it, we are led astray, caught in cycles of misunderstanding and division. Every time we act without love, we cause ripples of harm, yet these ripples are not the result of love’s inherent imperfection, but of its absence.

Consider the story of Nelson Mandela, a man whose love for his country and his people led him to forgive those who had imprisoned him for decades. Mandela did not make the error of holding onto hatred, even though he had every right to do so. His love for peace, for justice, and for unity allowed him to rise above the injustices he suffered. In choosing love over resentment, he healed a nation. His story shows that when we choose love, we remove the errors that arise from hatred and bitterness. Mandela's strength was not in his ability to fight, but in his ability to love in the face of unimaginable adversity.

Similarly, consider Mother Teresa, who devoted her life to serving the poorest of the poor in the streets of Calcutta. She was not moved by the error of injustice in the world, nor by the suffering that surrounded her; she was moved by love. Mother Teresa’s love transcended the errors of society—poverty, neglect, indifference—and she became a beacon of compassion and care. Where the world saw flaws, she saw the face of love. Her life was a testament to the power of love to overcome all errors, for she did not focus on the flaws of humanity, but on the love that could redeem them. Her story is proof that love can shine light into the darkest corners, turning despair into hope and error into redemption.

And yet, love does not simply transcend errors on a grand scale. It works on a smaller, personal level as well. Every argument, every conflict, every division we experience in our relationships is born from a lack of love. When we feel wronged, when we respond with anger or resentment, we are responding not from a place of love, but from a place of fear, insecurity, or pride. These errors in our interactions are born from the absence of love—we mistake the other’s actions for something personal, and we fail to recognize their humanity. The more we choose to love, to understand, to empathize, the fewer these errors become. Love calls us to step beyond our own limited perspectives and to embrace the greater good, to act with kindness, even when it seems challenging.

O children, the lesson here is clear: love is the answer to every error. Whenever we err, whenever we fall short, we are missing the presence of love in our hearts. True love does not make mistakes; it seeks understanding, forgiveness, and connection. It is through love that we find the clarity to see beyond our own limitations and flaws, and to reach out to others in their vulnerability. To love is to remove the errors that we, as imperfect beings, are prone to making. When we love, we eliminate confusion, we bring peace to conflict, and we heal wounds that may otherwise fester.

In your own life, let this wisdom be your guide: when you feel anger, confusion, or division, seek the love that lies beneath. Recognize that the error is not in the other person or the world, but in the lack of love that has clouded your perception. Choose to act from a place of compassion, understanding, and patience. When you choose love, the errors of misunderstanding, fear, and separation dissolve, and you align yourself with the higher truth that binds all of us together. In this, you will find peace, joy, and a deeper connection to the world around you.

And so, O seekers of wisdom, let the love within guide you. It is through love that we remove the errors of the world and replace them with understanding, compassion, and unity. Let love be your compass, and let it shine through all that you do. For where love is present, no error can remain, and where love leads, all things are made right.
