Fred Rogers reminded us all that real LOVE is a verb , enlivened in times when our emotional or intellectual “ love ” is most difficult to give .
So , with that in mind … Got LOVE ?
“ Our world hangs like a magnificent jewel in the vastness of space . Every one of us is a part of that jewel ; a facet of that jewel . And in the perspective of infinity , our differences are truly infinitesimal …
If only you could sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet ; how important you can be to people you may never even dream of . There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person .
How sad it is that we give up on people who are essentially just like us … And when I say it ’ s you I like , I ’ m talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch ; that deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive : Love that conquers hate , Peace that rises triumphant over war , and Giving that proves more powerful than greed .” ~ inspired by Fred Rogers
