Why do triangles cause unhappiness, grief, and sorrow?

Triangles cause unhappiness, grief, and sorrow because no true love is involved in them. Scripture teaches that love fulfills the Law, and where agape love is absent—as in adultery or sexual immorality—people are left miserable. True love seeks another’s highest good, so its absence produces only sorrow.

Les explains that triangles do nothing but cause unhappiness, grief, and sorrow because there is no true love involved. He connects this to Romans 13:8, where love fulfills the Law. If agape love were functioning, the present-day surge of immorality and adultery would die on the vine, because there is no true love in that kind of sexual satisfaction; it always leaves people miserable. Love is the fulfilling of the whole Law, and coveting also has no place when we love others.

Romans 13:8

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
