Silvanus (Simeon) The Athonite. (№ 462132)

... But they [God's Commandments] are easy only because of love, and if there is no love, then everything is Difficult. Therefore, keep love, do not lose it, because although it is possible to return it, it is given through many tears and prayers, and without love it is difficult to live in the world. And whoever remains in anger, then this is the death of the soul, from which may the Lord save us.
