He lumped Michael in with the demons and the horsepeople? Interesting...
Crowley thought for a moment.
"That is a very selfish kind of love, don't you think? Thinking only of your loss and your pain and not how your love might affect the people that you mentioned, if indeed you even have individual love for them and not just that general angel love crap."
He took a step forward.
"People die, angel. That's the whole point. And they often die because of stupid things. But that's up to Him isn't it? He made the horsepeople and the destruction that you despise. It's two sides to the same coin. Destruction and Creation. Hurting and Healing. They go hand in hand. Like Aziraphale says incessantly, it's probably ineffable. They have no meaning separately."
He rubbed his temple and continued.
"But those people have free will. They make their own choices. You have to love them despite those choices, not what they would be if they made the 'right' ones. This is why I don't believe you when you say you've been challenged by love. So you've been hurt. Big fucking deal. You're not special. It happens to everyone. What are you going to do about it, that's what I'd like to know?"
