Which is Better: Love or Kindness?

The word “Love” has been blended with persian literature such a high levelthat if we remove from persian literature, nothing remais except a bodywithout life. But it is very strange that the mystics of the first centurieshasn’t used thise word much; Besides, this word hasn’t been come in theKoran and there is no value for it in the words of the Holy prohet (peace BeUpon Him) and the religious leaders. Without thought, this matter brings toone’s mind that why there is little atention to this subject. This essay is anattempt to give an answer to this defined question. In this essay, firstly, weinspected the words “Love” and “kindness” as words and and haveexpressed the differences between those two words, and then have presentedcauses and reasons as a reply according to two points of view: lexical andhistorical aspects. We hope that this attempt can be an introduction for futureresearches.
