A bro asked me....
If being free from suffering/ reaching enlightenment means to live life
devoid of love, feelings and emotions…. What’s the point of living?

I would rather risk getting hurt (out of loving), but be able to experience the depths
of life that comes with the fullness of love, feelings, emotions and human
touch…

Answer: There is a serious misconception here from the way the questioner is in doubt!
To be enlightened requires LOTS of love, so much so that you NOT only love 1 person out of Lust but the whole world out of compassion!
Furthermore it is an UNCONDITIONAL love, not the sort of love that goes 'I love you because...........'
Secondly, the being walking the Path deals with all interactions with Metta, Karuna, Mudita and Upekha..... UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, COMPASSION, JOY AND EQUANIMITY!! So there is NO QUESTION at all of an emotional cretin arising!!
Indeed ONE touches the very depths of the fullness of life WITH WISDOM, LOVE and COMPASSION, REJOICING in the successes of others without Jealousy, Anger or Ill will!
