Love in all its forms--romantic, friendship, familial connection--is the only way to cure the divisiveness humans seem to love to engage in.
"If you're not with me, you're against me!" they shout.
"My side is the right side! Period!" they insist.
"What I value is more important than what you value!" they claim.
This is the sickness. Here's my cure:
How to Love--Really Love--in 3 Easy Steps
Step 1: Get rid of your preconceived notions--
your biases only serve to cloud your ability to empathize
and kill any sense of true connectedness.
Step 2: Be patient with those who most annoy you--
they are the ones who have suffered things you can't imagine
and use their pain to push everyone away.
Step 3: Approach relationships with an open mind, heart, and ears--
we don't always have to agree with each other to love each other,
and we might just learn something when we stop to consider different perspectives.
That's what love is all about.
