A CALL TO LIVE AND LOVE!

“We live and love. If there is no love, we should not have lived.” When we see things around us beyond what our eyes can barely see, greediness consumes the goodness that is in the heart of every human being. If only we can detach ourselves to the pleasures of this world, then, it is possible that there will be no more pains, no more sufferings, and no more destruction to the innocent and pure hearts. We have fooled ourselves that we are alive and yet our souls are tortured and distorted by our selfish desires and discontentment. When we feel temporary happiness on the comforts and luxuries we embrace, we need to listen to the beat of our hearts and reflect if this is what we really need.

Billions of people have not lived the kind of life that we have at the moment.  Those homeless who never have a good sleep at risky street are unnoticed.  Those hungry families who struggle for a decent meal have never had a chance to taste the food that we serve on our tables. Those whose lives are in misery because of broken relationships and still haunted by the terror of their pasts are ignored. We have never stopped thinking of ourselves.  We have loved ourselves too much that we have been spoiled and blinded by hypocrisy and stupidity. Until when are we going to wake up from this sad and cruel reality?  For most of us life is an unending quest of fame, power and money- on who is going to live longer, on who is going to feel fulfilled and on who is going to climb at the peak of success.  We are already numb that is why we find it difficult to feel and recognize their situations.


Our lives are interconnected to one another. We just need to discover the invisible link that connects us to others. Every single good or bad act affects and becomes a part of someone else’s life.   If we live with purpose, we will die with joy and pride. We can always have a choice to live our lives not only in the way we want it but rather in a way that we can give hope and reason for others to live. Love by actions is life-changing. We can show this love to everyone if we want to without reservations. Imagine a world filled with people who have sense of love. It will be a place where peace and true joy reign. No more wasted times and wasted lives. No more cries and agonies. No more shattered dreams and lost souls.  That only if we answer the call to live and love.
