Love is powerful because it drives, navigates, directs, and makes our existence meaningful. Hate invites loneliness, whereas love denies it. Hate ruins personality, where as love builds ego identity. Hate results in acts of violence, whereas love leads to amazing acts of kindness. Hate destroys, whereas love creates.
Love and hate are the most powerful opposites in our dualistic thinking. Why then does unhappy love frequently lead to great rage and strained bonds? Each and every one of us has a loving partner. The intensity of this exuberant feeling has the capacity to significantly change how things develop. Hatred is a potent destroyer that feeds violence and despair, and hatred is a powerful destructor. Have you ever experienced real light of love and real darkness of hate? Love might be more potent than hatred, as the song states, “Hatred would never, even metaphorically, develop love.” Love is more powerful because it brings fresh, satisfying difficulties.
We judge Love and how “well” or “right” we’ve done it, by our own expectations for certain results. I now see it’s not my job to make sure Love’s “working” or that I’m “doing it right.” It is only my job to act from Love and to stand for Love as I have always been called to do and to the best of my ability. I am losing my vacillation about Love’s expression in my life. I won’t second-guess or apologize for it anymore. Our fears around Love have more to do with a possible 10% (max) who could hurt us, than the 90% who will be happy about it and the 100% who will be helped by it.
love might sometimes fade. It simply vanishes, disappears. Love must be so powerful that it may finally end, or it will remain. The fundamental elements of love are closeness, ardour, and dedication in all of its various manifestations. Romeo and Juliet might have lived longer, but would their love have been as strong, passionate, and steadfast? It is difficult to find a complete love that can reconcile them all. I’m not sold on it. Love is powerful because it can change. In actuality, intimacy is preserved while relationships evolve and change.
We need inner transformation. Our hearts are either transformed by love or malformed by hate. Many efforts to date have been focused on equal outcomes, like equal opportunity and affirmative action. But we need far more than just offering the education and jobs to all people–we need institutions run by people who want to offer it to all people. This goes beyond fair treatment. We need to see each other as having equal value. And we can’t do that by hating each other. This inner transformation and growth only comes through love.
Love is a powerful force because it drives, directs, navigates, and gives meaning to our existence. While hate encourages loneliness, love forbids it. While hate undermines individuality, love strengthens it. Incredible acts of giving come from love, but aggressive behaviour comes from hatred.
