Love is a random act of kindness to a stranger. Love is helping humanity out when there is no disaster. Love is recycling that plastic bottle instead of just mindlessly tossing it into the trash. Love is nurturing all things that you touch.

Love is the most powerful human emotion, the most powerful but truly the most difficult to do. Love is not the most powerful force in the universe, chaos is.  Order is but a byproduct, a temporal stasis from chaos. That asteroid out there, somewhere with our name inscribed upon its ancient surface, it neither loves us nor hates us, but is a mechanism of chaos. Human emotions cannot be placed on nonhuman paradigms. All we can hope for in life is that at least a little love comes our way. The more we receive, the more blessed we are. This is the reason why it is important to love unconditionally.

Love is the loyalty of a family pet. Love is the affirmation you receive while watching your baby being born. Love is helping out in your community, both your local one and your world one. Love is when you touch another’s hand and become flush in the chemical reaction of connection. Love is saying you’re sorry and having the where-with-all to understand that doing so is not a humiliating act, but rather an act of humility.
