DEUT220 Love includes more acts than any of the other traits, and when one employs his love for good, it is the highest of all the traits, as it is written [this verse]: "And you shall love Hashem your God." And there is no form of Divine service higher than that of serving God out of love. When one employs his love for evil, there is no trait among all the others that can compare to it in evil. And now hear how love tarnishes one's deeds when it gets the upper hand over wisdom. There are many varieties of love, one different from the other: (1) The love of a father for his children. His great love for them may cause him not to reprove them and lead them on the right path. It may cause him to leave them to the evil promptings of their hearts, from which great ruin will result. ... (Continued at [[GEN976]] Genesis 18:19 instruct TZADIK 107); (7) The love of pleasure and of indulgence, as in eating, and drinking, and in the other pleasures, such as illicit intercourse and excursions. This love is worse than all the others. There is no need to elaborate here, for one who loves wine and gets drunk and always eats exotic foods and frequent banquets will forget his Creator, as it is written (Deuteronomy 6:11-12): "And when you will eat and be sated… take heed lest you forget Hashem." And (ibid. 11:15-16): "And when you will eat and be sated ... take heed lest your heart be turned away and you turn and serve other Gods." And (ibid. 32:15): "And Yeshurun became fat and he kicked."
