What is love? Where is love?
Love is an endangered concept in a modern society, the media fills us with ideas of hate; war, scandal, murder, until we don't trust each other any more. (Note that when I say love, I don't mean relationships or sex, I mean love that involves the whole world, a wider and entirely different concept).
'Where there is love, there is live' - Mahatma Gandhi.
I say lay down all weapons and bring people together. I can't pretend I'm some sort of prophet and proclaim to know 'the purpose' but I'm pretty sure it's not destruction, built to destroy? That doesn't work, it's positively illogical.
'I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.' - Martin Luther King Jr.
It's so dangerous to say things like 'no war' and 'bring back love' but I believe if people said it more often, if people let themselves believe for a second, it might actually come true. It's right there waiting for us to reach out to it, shunned by a generation that acts carelessly.
Speaking of the generation, I think it could be the one that starts a revolution. Not of politics or arms but of words and emotion. Less complaining, more complementing, calm your anger!
You can probably assume I look up to a figure such as John Lennon, who was persecuted, and killed, for his ideas. But he spoke sense and he lived happily, I want that.
'If someone thinks love and peace are a cliché that must have been left behind in the sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.' - John Lennon.
If you take anything away from this, let it be this: the world we live in is on its way to ruin. Take a look at the anger around you and just think, how do you want it to be, and what can you do about it?
