“Once we truly love, we will...

meet anger with sympathy,

hatred with compassion,

cruelty with kindness.”

“Love is the most powerful weapon on earth”

I think that Prince Ea is on to something... would this world have so much suffering? So much hatred? ...if everyone made decisions based on love? Would we have war? Would there be bullying? Fighting? Racism? I don’t think so.

Let’s all plan to love more. Not only today, not only this month... but everyday, every minute, every hour, today and always.

Pay for the person behind you in the drive through, sponsor a child, volunteer more, talk to someone sitting alone, help someone who needs help, go out of your way to surprise your mom at work, call your dad more often, write a letter to your grandma, make friends with someone who you is different from you, don’t blindly hate anybody for any reason, don’t hate anybody at all.

There are a million ways to help one another, to help make this world a better place.

How can we be the change we wish to see in the world? Through compassion, humility and most importantly, through love.
