Our culture devalues Love over and over again – relationships play second fiddle to gadgets, ideas, and ideals. Friendships get trashed over the mission statement of a group or over the signage on a booth or because someone forgot to put something in the calendar.
Right now a portion of a group of people labeling themselves the 99% are insulting a group of people they call the 1%. They get to feel in the right. They get a lot of attention, but they don’t get any kind of relationship with the folks they shut out. Who knows maybe the people labeled the 1% would want to join in? Maybe some of them even agree with the 99% group. Love says, "Send an invitation!" Righteousness says, "Let'em swing."
Teamwork comes from love. Great love. Love that sees the flaws and understands that the other is doing the best they can and loves the person anyway. I have heard that Picasso was a jerk. So the women who loved and helped him must have been brilliant lovers. I like that concept. Gifted at loving. I think there should be an award for it.
