The Dilemma of Love

Why is it that after thousands upon millions of years of evolution, we have not perfected or evolved our ability to love? Is it even a possibility that human beings can comprehend love? From my many conversations with different people, it seems that there are certain folk to have managed to maintain loving relationships. I often wonder how come so many other people on this planet live in negative mindsets? It is the very reason the atheist and the anarchist are so unhappy. They have forgotten how to love. It is why countries are at war with one another and can never have peace. It seems to me that the best way to develop love in our country is to start teaching interpersonal relationships skills at a very young age.

Teaching about sexual organs and how to write a check are basic skills for living in society. However, people need to understand how to communicate with their peers. It would be my political endeavor to begin teaching children as early as kindergarten good manners and proper virtue. There need be no alarm on teaching morality. It is not restricted to religious institutions only. Even the atheist knows how to be kind and respectful in society. Still, people in America are uneasy to get to know strangers. It is because of our very standoffish ways that society becomes corrupted. Christians can learn to be more open-minded about other beliefs. Ministers should teach that there’s more than one way to God. It is the indifference of religion that causes society so much pain.

If we work to do any real good in this universe, we must first unite in the power of humanity. Knowing that we are all human, no man or woman can claim to speak for God. No man or woman can claim to be a true profit. No man or woman has the right to punish others for religious sins. And yet, we make ourselves slaves to our chosen religion, thinking this will grant us passage into the internal kingdom. That kingdom is open to atheist and anarchist as well. If they learn to practice kind, helpful, and trustworthy actions. No religion has the right to condemn a man or woman. It is only religion~ that separates us from finding world peace. Maybe if we reduced religion to its proper place in society, we would not be so easily swayed by our political leaders. Who use our faith as a means to justify their political agenda.

I am a pagan; I am united with millions of people on this planet who choose to believe in God their own way. Everyone is considered a pagan by one religion or another. In order for me to find peace with myself, I had to realize that man "in human form" wrote sacred books. I myself see "that man" has the ability to destroy the world. It is my belief that there is a universal spirit in which all life thrives and prospers. I found myself most happy when falling in love. I see no reason not to develop my understanding of what love is. There are many books that teach morality in a very loving and respectful way. If we can incorporate common sense while teaching children how to interact, we can increase the ability for society to be stable and focused on the needs of the planet.
