Why Does C.S. Lewis Believe That Love Is Hard to Understand?

In his introduction C.S. Lewis explains that he found understanding love harder than he originally thought. I agree that love is hard to understand and expand on this sentiment.

God bless you. Love truly is deep and should be studied. May we increase in loving God and others.

The aristotelian definition is good enough I guess, what makes us multiply the distincions seems to be the habit of idolatry from our minds, the unnecessary complexity of counting beings instead of seeing God's simplicity in all things, so maybe the solution is to see all the particular cases of genuine love as love to God , as seeing something of beauty means to admire God's Beauty through it
