Recently, I wrote this sentence in an essay:
"We should use love to bring prosperity to other’s lives, rather than using it to pierce their deepest emotions."
I find that repeating words is something I do a lot. Is this necessarily a bad thing?
Is it correct to remove the "using it" and say:
"We should use love to bring prosperity to other's lives, rather than to pierce their deepest emotions."
But I'm still repeating the word "to". What can I do?

And don't worry too much about to. In a sentence like "It's up to you to find out how to get to the bottom of things" the four-fold repetition of that one word probably won't even be noticed.
