Humanity’s Greatest Craving
It is so ironic that we should ever feel vulnerable in acknowledging that we love another. For surely it is love that we most crave — perhaps our strongest instinct.
It makes no sense that what we crave for should make us weak! Perhaps that feeling of vulnerability bares its roots in Survival of the Fittest. Perhaps it is in our knowing how we are so empowered when love is bestowed upon us that we are afraid to freely and openly distribute love in return in case we should empower its receiver beyond ourselves.
Yet in our withholding, loves empowerment becomes nullified as vanity destroys its cure. In our foolery, we drain ourselves of the very source needed for survival. We allow fear to suffocate our complex rhythm. Can it be questioned whether it is not so that all share in this primal need to feast upon the nourishment of loves' fruit — is it possible that anyone evolved through different means?
For what is left if there is not love? It is surely in humanity’s power that love can become infinitely bountiful and so infinitely powerful!
It is much more empowering, then, to give freely of love and enjoy of humanity’s greatest craving. As stability is achieved through equilibrium, if we take but do not give of what we receive, how do we keep the universe from its plight?
Humanities thinking must now evolve from Survival of the Fittest to Unity.
