Love is the answer. Love yourself.
Love your neighbor. Love your family. Love your friends. Love. Love your pets, your world, your universe, nature. Simply love.
Great sermon yesterday at the Royal Wedding and he's right. All we all need is Love. Love spreads. Let the rest go and live in love.
For weeks, months, years I haven't been able to come up with a solution to these school shootings. I've wracked my brain in frustration. None of the solutions offered to the mass public have been anything I could get behind as a surefire way to stop this insanity. I thought there was no solution. But, there is a solution and it's simple. If more people would step outside of their own bs and extend a loving hand, if more people would stop critiquing everyone else and start learning to love themselves so that they could love others.....love truly is the solution and I believe this with my entire being. Love heals, love warms us, love motivates us to do good in the world, love gives us courage to face every day. Love doesn't kill, doesn't hurt, doesn't maim. Spread love, it's contagious.
Oh, and yes, a preacher, but before you all get your panties in a bunch, it's easy just to remove the religious theme from the sermon. The premise is the same. Love is the answer.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Try replacing the word Love with any other emotion, To my ears, It only sounds slightly more ridiculous. Belief in "The Answer" is as bad a faith as any. Our lives are not a quiz show, there is no simple solution to almost anything. Love is a fine thing, It is not a universal solvent.

@JustJan Then Human Life is not simple, Would be more the case. So there was "no answer" and then there was a "simple answer", Well then, do tell. Again, Love is a fine thing, It is simply, not an answer to everything.
Well yes, but some money to keep a roof over your head and avoid starving to death also helps, and from experience even the most loving people don't give it away. Sorry, but my 1960s illusions have all but disappeared through the reality of the world.

The Sermon was great as it was focused on Trump. Of course it was for the wedding but they know this and practice it, those in the U.S. do not. Compare this with the speeches presented at the new embassy in Jerusalem, no comparison.

Relative concept. Love of country and people guides genocide.

Very optimistic and sounds like a Beatles song. But not in the reality of human interaction. In point of fact, one could say the latest Texas shooter went on the killing spree because his love was not reciprocated. Love is often used as a tool, if unreciprocated, an excuse to harm. People love their religion, their kin and clan, their country, their leaders. Not all of these are healthy love, but love non the less. And reality is that we all know how loving the church is to those not in the fold, gays, Atheists, other religions and other beliefs. So while it sounds lovely, it is not within the realm of possibility.
