The healing power of power of love is potentially a never emptying cup of goodness bequeathed to us from our Creator. And yet, this greatest of all emotions is so tainted with wrong use today, it is hardly recognizable.
How can it be retrieved? First of all we must know what it means in its entirety? We must know how to recognize it within ourselves and to allow it to guide us to our better selves. And most important of all, we must know what it is not, and to know to turn around and not get splashed with its power to rob us of our sense of self.
What exactly am I talking about in the above paragraph. Sex is biological, love too has it biological seat within our brain but it is where real love resides. The more we examine our capacity to love even when there is no obvious reason we should -- as society dictates -- the stronger will be our resolve to love and not hate.
Hate blinds us to everything except the object that we blame for all our problems. Mental health dictates that we first overcome our hatred of others, and if we don't yet have the capacity to love those that despise us and wish us harm, we can at least learn to tolerate them.
The image? I scribbled this on a sheet of paper one day, for I know not why not, but searching through my collection for an illustration, the thought that love has the power to conquer darkness. No matter how depressed or hopeless the situation that surround us appears to be, love can break through that. In other words, no matter how dark the night, dawn follows with it hope for a brighter day.
