Does love work?



Is a question that comes our way, into our thoughts once in a while

.Imagine love being the original energy in our universe

The initial impulse was love before the so called big bang


Love is not just soft sweetness as some seem to believe

Love is many things

And yes it works in the sense of helping us to find peace of mind

No amount of money or material accumulations will bring peace of mind

Some of the most paranoid people on this planet are those who have grabbed, stolen or plundered their way to great wealth

Others who worked hard are seldom known for their peace of mind, being often of a workaholic disposition and unable to sit still for five minutes let alone relax

They do not know peace of mind nor will they ever

Nor can most believe or understand that something (to them) as soft as love can bring what money or power cannot

Yes love can lead one to peace of mind

And peace of mind is worth more than billions of any-one's currency

With peace of mind one can function with whatever life sends our way

Not true of mere money or power

It might appear differently but then our present obsession with money is obscuring several age old truths

They will out with time

As our world becomes more volatile so the allure of power and money will pale against other values

Nature works in cycles and currently man is in a difficult period where greed and power are valued over other values

Love works in other ways apart from bringing peace of mind

Love is the best defense against evil

Love can be contagious

Love heals wounds in ways that medicine or drugs cannot

Love heals emotional wounds in ways that modern science or psychology cannot

The reason this is not seen or understood particularly well in the so called developed world is because materialism drowns out any other rival life approaches

Love does indeed work

Mind you it takes work to arrive at the point where this is beyond any doubt true for you

Give it a try though!
