Love

As I say in my book, "love is the attitude and willingness to take action to promote someone else’s spiritual and emotional growth". That sounds simple enough - but I often spend a fair amount of time deciding what that will be, today was a good example. In order for me to get clarity on the most loving action I need to release all self-interest and also realize that love, the loving response is very complex and includes all feelings. "So, too, is love not the absence of an emotion (hatred, anger, lust, jealousy, covetousness), but the summation of all feeling. It is the sum total. The aggregate amount. The everything." (Walsch).
