Thoughts on Love




We cannot possibly let ourselves get frozen into regarding everyone we do not know as an absolute stranger.
(Albert Schweitzer)


Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.
(Fyodor Dostoyevsky)


People who respond to you in the only way that they know how. You will find great inner peace when you do not need others to act in a certain way to be happy yourself… When you send someone unconditional love, it is no longer possible for you to be harmed by his or her negative energy. If there is any situation in your life where you are feeling hurt, afraid, or separated from others, begin sending them love and acceptance for who they are. This will heal you and them.
( Sanaya Roman]
