The sentence "love is blind" is the well-known global one. Love can lead you to do anything for what you love without caring about good or bad. You will lose your personality and do something that you have never done before. In that time do you have wisdom or not?
The answer is "yes, you still have wisdom but you can not use them". Why?
Let's think about a glass of water. What do you see when you put a tube in? Yes, it's bending. Even the glass of water is clear, you have seen the bending of tube but love is worse than that because it blinds you and your wisdom. The side effect of love will force you to do unfairly to others by being partial.
There are four type of being partial: love, loathe, fool and fear. They are cause-of-partial. When you have one of these - being partial will begin. If you are fool, it's sure that you do not need to worry about your wisdom you have - but you can raise it. By the way, you have control your emotion first. How? You have to stop the root of them.
When you are angry, your mind like boiling water. You can not see what is in that water. When you have greed, your mind like painting color. You can not see what is in that one. When you are infatuating, your mind like fully-seaweed in the water. You can not see anything - but seaweed. These three are the root of emotion that blind you. For being free and fair - calm and clear your mind. That's why you need meditation.
What is the fastest way of mediation?
The fastest way is "do anything - but think".
If you can not do it by your methods, Buddhism has the good one for you.
