Timy vs. Gur

Dear Gur!
1) In this case, the primary thing is peace; peace for this person is a good thing, and they are willing to perform actions that they don't like in order to achieve it ("don't like/don't want to"). Performing unpleasant actions is merely a MEANS to achieve the good of "peace." These actions are performed because peace is a value for this person; this person treats peace as something valuable. And treating something as valuable, according to the definition of love given in post 13 and confirmed by you in post 14, is love. Therefore, the reason this person performs unpleasant actions is love for peace.
Peace is an intermediate stage between work. I have a counter-question (I'm not denying that there is love for something and someone): Why do people then strive not for what they love, but for where there is money? And many drive themselves to an early grave for the sake of "base metal." Why does everything then come down to money?
2) I am impressed by your spiritual needs (there is not a drop of irony here).
For me, the main spiritual need is reading. The spiritual need "reading" was not mentioned among your spiritual needs. From this, we can conclude that our spiritual needs differ.
Why do they differ?
It all depends on our attitude towards them:
I treat reading as something important (valuable) to me. Therefore, according to the definition of love, I love reading. In other words: my love for reading makes me pick up a book.
The same applies to your spiritual needs (here I will skip the intermediate conclusions, as the course of the proof is not different from the previous one):
You believe in God because you love God;
You meditate because you love to meditate.
And so on.
I believe in God because He exists (IMHO), and prayer helps to relax the nerves. I meditate to get rid of feelings (which make us do rash things) and to gather my thoughts. Sincerely, Timi.
