It's About Love...

There's a question that has been around since man formed its first thought, one that has plagued mankind and each and every one of you.

The question has many different versions: "What's the point of it all? Why am I here? What is the meaning of life?"

I feel I've discovered the answer

It's about Love

Love is at the heart of everything, romance, friendships, actions, desires, goals... everything

No one does anything because they hate it, they do it for the love of something else

If you hate horror movies you don't go see them, but if your friend offers you a ticket you might go because of the love you have for your friend

Love is a concept

It is something we cannot hold, see, or touch it is only something we can feel

The fact that a broken heart can kill us should be proof enough that love is the point

Let me say that again, a concept can kill you, something that technically doesn't exist can have a physical impact on you

Now, scientifically, we are made up of atoms that used to be part of stars and to a greater extent the universe. Atoms from starts and planets millions of years dead made their way through time and space until they became you

Therefore, when we tell someone to love themselves we are really telling the universe to love itself

Every time we express love for something or someone we are the universe showing itself the love it needs and deserves

Be that love, embody it, for if not before, it is certainly needed now more than ever
