More and more in life I'm coming to realize that love is the most important thing.
Love is what binds us together, people are joined by the bonds of love. Love is what connects us to one another. Love is what makes life worth living, it is what makes us smile. It is finding a connection with another person, realizing that we are essentially the same. Love is knowing that you are connected in some way, shape, or form to everyone and everything around you.
What puzzles me is that we are not taught to focus on love and compassion and empathy, but instead are lead to indulge in hate and despair and misery. We are persuaded to be discontented with what we have, we are encouraged to immerse ourselves in the negative aspects of life, disregarding the positive. We are disciplined into seeing the faults in others, rather than their better qualities.
Our world forces us to live either in the past or future - never in the present. It is through obsession in the past, worry for what the future might bring. We are forced (whether consciously or subconsciously) to live in fear.
I want to stop fearing things that happen that I have no control over. I want to live more and experience things and enjoy being alive and surround myself with people and with love and with life! I want to reach a point where I'm not afraid anymore, where I'm not worried with what people think about me, or if I'm good enough or SMART enough or have a good job. I want to rid my life of status anxiety and worry and fear. I think I'm taking the right steps to accomplishing this. I hope I can do it.
