The word "love" in its broadest sense embraces all that is good in this world: kindness, empathy, caring, compassion, generosity, cooperation, forgiveness, understanding, respect, appreciation, gratitude and sacrifice. Love is the great healing power in the world. When you make your life all about love, you will also find peace and contentment.

By dedicating ourselves to peace, understanding, kindness and compassion, we do our part to heal the world.

While we cannot close our eyes to what is happening around us, it is important for each of us as individuals to refuse to hate another human being and commit to compassion, love, peace and nonviolence in the world. In becoming aware and resistant to evil, we should be wary of becoming part of the evil ourselves.

Love is kindness, compassion, generosity, empathy, respect, understanding, forgiveness and sacrifice: the very best in us.

While most of our major religions acknowledge the truth of universal brotherhood, too many human beings are still hanging on to their hate and fear of "the other." We have created our own misery. We can also heal ourselves through kindness, cooperation, compassion, generosity, forgiveness, honesty, understanding and sacrifice. The choice is ours.

There are essentially two different philosophies at play in our politics: one that says, we are all in this together, let's help each other; and the other that says, I got mine, you are on your own. One is compassionate; the other is indifferent to the suffering of others.

There are basically two kinds of people: those who have empathy and care about others and those who don't. The ones who don't are creating most of the problems in the world.

The moral high road is always about love, compassion, kindness and generosity.

Live with an open mind and an open heart. Always choose love over fear and kindness over cruelty.
