Love

Love is the most powerful force in the world. All religious leaders agree that we should love one another. Infants die without love. It is said that everything we do in life is either to get love or to make up for our lack of love. So that bully who delights in putting down other people, the timid person in the corner who tries to avoid contact with others, and the famous leader with all his power—they are all hungry for love. But Love is not a possession. It is not something you have, so much as something you do. Love is a verb. In the words of Oscar Hammerstein: “A bell is no bell till you ring it. A song is no song till you sing it. The love in your heart wasn’t put there to stay, love isn’t love till you give it away!”
