You tell me to love, why?

Love never tells you to do anything… it expects you to.

I love my family; that's enough.

Love expects you to love your family, your neighbor's family, and your neighbor's neighbor's family.

Why do I have to love them?

You don't have to do anything.

It's all up to you what kind of a day, a week, a year, or a lifetime you want to spend your time in.

Our actions shape our lives.

When we love our neighbor, we open a door that lets the fresh air of perspective into our lives.

Walk in another's shoes.

If we only love ourselves, we shut the door to the world.

The air of truth can't get to us; we recycle our own thoughts over and over and over again.

We twist reality and bend it till we create a monster.

A selfish monster that tells us only what we want to hear, what we want to know, what we want to see.

No more rainbows.

Only a dusty, dank darkness cocooned in a web of self-delusion.

What is love?

We lie to ourselves, and we believe our own lies.

So I love other people, but they don't love me back.

Love doesn't expect a dividend.

Love is not a business transaction.

Love gives; it doesn't take.

That's how you can measure the quality of love.

Love doesn't wait.

Love is now.

Love doesn't keep 90% of the profit and gives the remainder to those in need.

Love doesn't just show up once a week.

Love doesn't arrive on one day a year.

Love is constant.

Love waits.

Love listens.

Love moves.

Love stands for justice.

Love fights for freedom.

Love means honor.

What is love?

Love is the force that binds all people together of goodwill.

Love will take us to the stars; love will lift the forgotten out of misery.

Love is not an easy partner.

Love will always ask for more, never less.

Love never rests.

A life of love is a life fulfilled.

What is love?

Peace
