the world will know peace."
~Mahatma Gandhi
Today I want to also add an excerpt from Leo Buscaglia's book, Born for Love: Reflections on Loving, page 74. It kind of goes along with the quote above, kind of, especially the last sentence. I'd love to know your thoughts, hear/read your comments but mostly, I hope you strive to radiate love; pure, divine love in your home, your community, your world!
We expect to be loved and are quick to condemn those who do not comply. We believe that life comes with a guarantee that we will be loved. It rarely occurs to us that the degree to which we are loved is directly related to our loveability.
We are all acquainted with individuals who are constantly moody, who look for the dark side of everything, who are fearful of commitment, who shirk from responsibility, who flare up at the least provocation and then wonder why they are not sought after, why they are not loved. Who would love such a person except someone who is asking for unhappiness?
It is when we ask for love less and begin giving love more that the basis of human love is revealed to us.
