Love. It's in the air. It's on the radio. It's in our books, on TV, in the movies. It's in our blood. We see it everywhere, whether it's the love between a romantic couple or the love between two best friends or a brother and sister, mother and daughter, performer and fan. Love is everywhere.
Everyone craves love. It's what motivates us. We all want to be loved and to love back. It's just a fact, and if you think you can live without love, you may want to redefine your definition of love. Love is a wide umbrella of emotion, and you can feel love for a pet, a person, an activity. There are no limitations to what love can do. The only thing I can tell you about love is that when you feel love, you just... know.
The world needs more love. If people did everything based on love, there would be more artists and more happy people. If love was shown and returned, violence would decrease, and people would have greater support during tragedies that did occur.
The unfortunate truth, as we saw once again yesterday with the horrifying events that transpired in Boston, Massachusetts, is that violence happens, and people across the world are affected by these tragedies, to various degrees.
All I can say is that I know those affected on a personal level will get through this, with the help of their family and friends. It is times like this when we are all reminded of the simple humanity that unites us all.
I see so much love around me- shared love, one-sided love, friends, family, pets, and terribly confusing love triangle/pentagons- and that love, no matter how it is manifested, becomes intensified during times when every day life is thrown out of balance.
"Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love."
--Mother Teresa
Love well.
