The Destiny of Love and the Future of Us All

From Virginia Beach, Virginia 

The love of one human rarely reaches another. It almost feels as if love is projected from one person, but it does not land anywhere. It is lost in the wind. It is lost in the far corner of space. It is lost in a way that not even poetry can save. Maybe when love is projected, it was never projected outward. Perhaps too many of us on Earth, myself included, have only been projecting love inward. The love of one's self, has triumphed the love of any other.

When caressing the fur of a kitten or gazing upon the expansion of a growing leaf, there is a growing sign of love. Albert Einstein often spoke and wrote of a relentless sense of awe and amazement when looking upon the cosmos. Even to the point, that he proclaimed it as spiritual. Well, where is that that awe and amazement for the betterment of humanity and the betterment of the Earth? When we project love, let us also think of the purr of a kitten, the growing of a leaf, and the far side of the Universe. 

It is up to us as humanity to project our own love outward. One can love oneself with ease, and perhaps also with comfort, yet to find a love for both the internal and the external requires a much larger plan in mind. The small acts of kindness can allow for a larger effect to take place. The small acts of tenderness might allow for the tiny plant to grow. If they are going to remind us that the mighty oak tree came from a small acorn. Then, we should always remind ourselves that within each one of us there is the power and capability to protect life. 

As human beings we do not want to destroy, we want to extend care, compassion, and kindness. As human beings, we do not need to reserve love for only ourselves, we want love to be shared with as many as possible. As human beings we do not want to live in fear of betrayal, but we to live in our journey to success. Where is the destruction in success? It is a characteristic that can be avoided. 

In the 21st Century, we no longer live in a world of mankind, but in humankind. We do not live under the law of All Men are Created Equal, but All Humans are Equal. 

With each day forward, there is a new opportunity to share love, to show respect for the Earth and for all living things, plant, animal, microbe, and of course for other humans as well. One must love oneself to continue on the journey to success and prosperity, but success and prosperity must be achieved by projecting love outward to the others along the way.
