Human Care

Amidst several days of conversational topics such as healthcare, human rights, environmental responsibility and financial stability, it is easy to see that one common theme surrounds each of the concerns. Love is that which ties them together. Love is required to put each into practice. People tend to cling to one issue over others, but they fail to see that a common love of life itself is necessary in order to maintain balanced objectivity when considering a particular issue--thereby creating a natural conduit in which to perpetuate the plight of a certain cause. Put simply, if all people embraced a true love of life, all peoples would embrace a mission to achieve a common purpose.

Similar to the above societal strife, the relationship between two lovers presents a dichotomy as to what is considered love. Take a person who finds herself loving her partner with an unconditional love that is not returned in the manner she had expected. Confused and hurt, an attempt to express her emotions is met with an even colder indifference that only compounds the situation. Although sometimes this scenario plainly reveals a severely emotionally mismatched couple, it is more likely that they simply do not understand how to love each other. Partners who have learned how to love each other comprehend that listening, acknowledging, humility and sacrifice are essential to providing a symmetry of mutual care.

Avoiding the pitfall of taking a political position, it is safe to say that love could really solve many of the issues on both sides of the fence. Long have people abandoned coming together to find commonality in favor of polarizing their stances. Perhaps if this message of love could touch their hearts and minds, those divided by such chasms might see that they are not so different. Dreaming of this world may seem naively utopian, especially considering the fiercely real caveats of present day contentions; however, although technology and fashion have changed, there is nothing new under the sun and it would be diminishing to assume that mankind could not overcome his pride, welcoming unconditional love.
