Our first love is a wonderful feeling. It totally overwhelms us, making us feel alive. But we usually don’t end up marrying our first love. It is as if we are tricked to receive a divine taste which is then taken away. This is in order to develop our feelings, especially regarding the special feeling of love. After losing our first love, we can then learn to work on ourselves in order to understand what love truly is and how to reach it. We can then add intellect to the original emotion of love that we had from childhood, before our hormones developed. Later on, we can discern how our initial feeling of love gave us a special sense of life. According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, the Creator grants us such a feeling in order to show us that the light of love is greater than anything else. We can bring this light into our lives by wanting to love the Creator, the upper force. Even in the form of the object of our first love, it was the Creator, the upper force, which shined upon us and it gave us that sensation of love. We have the opportunity to come to a much greater sense of love by thinking about the source of love from which we receive everything, including that first love. We have problems with thinking about the Creator as we cannot connect Him to the original juvenile love that we felt. All love comes from the same single source, and hate, the posterior of love, like the opposite side of a coin, also comes from the same source. The Creator sends us these emotions in order to develop us and become like Him. Becoming like Him means distinguishing between good and evil: to want only good and to reject evil. Love is good, and our original sensation of love is taken away from us in order to help us work toward achieving it by ourselves. The Creator is the force of nature related to natural development, and love is the lever of development. Instead of our original object of love, we now have to reach the love of everyone, of all humanity, nature and reality. By doing so, we acquire the greatest possible love, and everything will eventually reach such a sensation. Everything that happens to us ultimately comes to develop us to the discovery of the perfect and all-encompassing love that exists in reality.
