Love gives us freedom. No, I am not talking about romantic love; that is just one aspect of love. I am talking about the sincere love we grow learn... the love that replaces the bitterness and hatred; the love that grows in us with experience and gives another flower of hope with every heart break, betrayal and abandonment.
Life is about love, friendship and community; life is about caring for each other despite our differences. Life is not about the corner office, or expensive food or big homes; nor it is about competition, or revenge or validation and the self worth that comes with competing and crushing others.
Being able to love increases self worth, not the money, not the title, not the worldly possessions and certainly not the winning or wishing ill on others...
I want to love. I want to learn how to love and have compassion towards those who wronged me. I need love to break free from this jail.
