Love


I often wonder what life would be like without love -- giving love and receiving love. I know I couldn't live without love. Unfortunately, some people on this earth are not getting much needed love.

The news reported about a Russian orphan being returned to Russia by his American "mother" because she couldn't handle him. His disorders were probably from being in an orphanage where he didn't feel loved. Sending him back was like a double-whammy, in my opinion. How will he ever understand what love is?

All the terrorism based on religious beliefs is so wrong. Discrimination based on skin color is so wrong. Treating women worse than men is so wrong. If we could all love each other, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, whatever, then the chance there will be peace on earth increases.

I know.... it'll never happen. But wouldn't it be nicer to live in a world with people who feel loved?

Love is a necessity.

We can't control the rest of the world but we can control our corner of it. Why don't we each propose here and now to do better. Sure we will fail sometimes but it is better then not trying at all. After all the Bible tells us God is Love.
