...continued...

Life is about loving. We are made to love one another. We are wired to love other people. Life is sometimes unbearable but with love, it is easier on the other person.

With a heart that loves, everything will fall in place. Perfect love casts away fear and perfect love cast away greed, which leads me to one of my favourite quotes: “If we care enough, share enough, the world will have enough. The world has enough of our need but not enough for our greed.”

Greed has no place to stay when a heart is filled with love. Selfishness has no place to hide when we truly love. Selfishness is clearly different from self-love. Self-love is loving yourself enough to want the best for yourself and because you know how to love yourself, you know how to give the best to others too.

Selfishness is when you desire all the best of things that could benefit others, you hoard it and whether you need it or not, you still want it for yourself. Selfishness sometimes lead to greed. Life is going to function well when we love.

The world can be a better place when we make love a priority. When love is the center stage, every aspect of any country would thrive.

Imagine if our politicians really do have a heart that loves, imagine how better our lives would be. Imagine if our medical officials prioritized love, imagine how many lives would have been saved.

Imagine if everyone understands that life is about loving one another, see the rate at which crimes would reduce.

Imagine if I love you and you love me, there is no reason why we would hate enough to wreck havoc. Arguments will spring up, yes, but with a heart of love, it doesn't degenerate.

Love is enough to fix the ills in the world. The question isn’t about if we love, but about if we love enough. We need to love enough to effect changes. We need to see each other with the eyes of love, because only then can we stop thinking “It is not my business” and make it “our business”. When the other person is better, only then can we also experience peace.

Imagine those who wreak havoc, imagine if the conditions were right. They would have thought about it and changed their ways, and lives would have been saved.

Sometimes, as funny as life works, when we love another to help them, the next level they will attain afterward might be the key to our own next level. As the person you showed love to might, in turn, be the one you will need for the next phase of your life.

Someone joking said, “If love is the answer, can you please repeat the question?” Yes, love is the answer, and we need to love enough to be able to stop the tide in the world.

Thank you for your time.

Loving life is the fruit of loving God and loving people, including loving ourselves. Why is that? Love to God will bring thanksgiving for the life around us that He gave. Love to humans, including to oneself will make us appreciate and respect ourselves.

That is why how we value God and respect others including ourselves affects our perspective on life itself. In the end, the right viewpoint causes us to put the right price tag or price tag on the life around us whose standards are not based on human size or materially but by God's standards that is based on love.

Finally, to love life is to appreciate life and this can be achieved when we love God and love others. This is not impossible or mere discourse but is something that should happen between us, believers.

Born a person in the world because of the love of 2 human beings, then all we are never far from love, greed will be destroyed if love is sincere.

Thank you for making beautiful poetry .. @communitycoin

Sweet comment!. Greed would be destroyed when love becomes sincere. Like i said, it is not like we don't love, we just don't love enough. Thanks a lot for that.

Love encompasses everything. It's a huge feeling that gives meaning to our lives

Good one my friend. Love give meaning to our lives. Absolutely!.

Love is the noblest feeling we can feel, it is the beginning of wealth in the heart, the motor of our life and the key to being full and happy people.

My pick; Anybody can Love, but do we love enough? This is a question we never might be able to answer.
If we indeed Love, why the Plateau killing? Why the southern kaduna village massacre? Why are herdsmen causing mayhem on farmers. And if we indeed Love at why school bus with children bombblast and why adoption of chibok. We are all dead Alive because the only love we have is Selfishness "selflove" not entirely the constructive but for "interest "
@olawalium i pray you a bigger heart for more inspiration.
This notes actually gave me some saline trickles down my cheek.Love is Living.

Still Elisedaniels...Love for the Gospel.

Exactly. If we have love, all these evil and hurts would have reduced drastically. It would have saved a lot of lives because love would shine true. We love, we just don't love enough and love is what we need to heal the world of this injuries. The earth cries for us to love.

To love is to find your own happiness in the happiness of another. We live in the world when we love. Only a life lived for others is worth living.
A woman comes to the conviction that she is loved, more by what she guesses, than by what they say and it is sad, on the other hand There are those who have the desire to love, but not the capacity to love.

Having the desire to love and the capacity to love are two different things and you e spoken so well with this brilliant statement. We need to have the desire as well as the capacity to love another...and only then can we eradicate greed and love would heal our broken world

Thanks a lot my friend.

love cannot be expressed in words. Even if it should be described, love surely exceeds anything in this world. William Shakespeare once said, "I love you more than words that can master the problem, more expensive than vision, space, and freedom." @olawalium.

William was a smart man. He knew what love means and it runs deeper than we can ever explain or put into words. Once we inject love into our world, imagine how admirable the world would be for everyone.

Thanks a lot my friend.

I a gree with you. :)
