Where is the love
In the words of the famous American group of 4, black-eyed peas- where is the love? It’s not just a song title. It’s a song that applies to the world we live in at the moment; it’s a question to everyone who reads this, what is going on? Where are we headed?. Every day, the news has a seafood platter of disheartening and thought-provoking information, and their treas never runs dry. There’s a lot to deal with. Many of us have chosen to go to hell in a hand-basket, and a more significant number are asking what’s hell, while others seek companions. Some of us seek someone to join in and make hell less hellish if there is a word like that.
It would seem humanity is failing itself, and many of us are losing our way each day. Rules, laws, and protocols are tossed aside for personal satisfaction, lies, racial divide, political goals, vanity, and more, regardless of who or what gets hurt. Where do we go from here? How do we get back to a people of love beyond colours, love beyond tribe, love beyond religion, love beyond race? That’s a huge question. The answer lies in what makes us one of the strongest and most intelligent beings on earth; it gives us our identity, what makes us who we are and what we want. We all want to be loved. We all want love, a love that doesn’t question or judge or point fingers, a love that lets us be the best we can be, a love above reasoning, that’s a love that is true and pure, so my question for you is ‘where is that love?’.
