Love is a form of attachment and is counter productive to attaining the understanding which leads to enlightenment. Like all desire love leads to pain or suffering. In inter human relationships peace is a natural outcome of the absense of desire. At the personal level one is at peace only when all desire has been identified and discarded. Total peace only occurs when the last attachment, a sense of self, is overcome. That is to say, when Nirvana is attained.
