If the world has an obsession with love, why isn't there enough?

The Beatles wrote a song about it...All We Need is Love.
Why didn't we join the "Love Train" back in the 70's? Or decide that War was good for absolutely nothin'?
Poems have been existing about LOVE since people could write. Since there was an alphabet.
I don't even mean romantic love. I mean love, one of the most commonly used words in every language, yet one of the least understood. If we love One, why can't we love All? Why can we love our brother or sister, and not love everyone else? Are they unloveable? Undeserving of love? The person standing in front of you at the grocery has a sibling that loves them. A wife that misses them. The person who cuts you off in traffic has a mother with cancer. Yet, for the briefest moment, that very thought doesn't exist. So, when terrorists attack a hotel full of people in a small place called the Taj Mahal- Where is the love? The opposite of love is hate.

It's a concept called "Universalism". The living truth is seen as more far-reaching than national, cultural, or religious boundaries. LOVE is the universal binding force. Every religion believes in love. So we all believe, ultimately, in the same thing. The details are what seperates us.


We all have parents. We all put our pants on the same way. Raise your hand if you've ever had your heart broken..or felt sad...or have been happy...or haven't met someone's expectations.
Raise your hand if you've ever felt like a minority.
Raise your hand if you've ever felt alone.
These things are not definative of one race, or one religion or gender. We all have things in common. Even if it's only a few things.
