With every passing day and hour, hate and dislike for others are seemingly becoming part of us!
The question is, “Why”? Why can’t we seem to love more? If we are to reflect upon our world, generations ago, this kind of bloodshed we are witnessing now wasn’t there or happening as it is happening these days!

People have learned to be “self-sufficient”, making it more “convenient” for them to defend their gruesome acts of indifference for others. Continents like Africa are having millions of people go hungry day in, day out but there’s someone out there “sitted on tonnes of food” that, they know, won’t be able to consume for the next 100 years or so. It’s good to agree that giving away this “excess surplus” to those that need it is a sure way of loving more, right?

Sharing a drink with anybody else that’s not you, is becoming unheard of, one of these days! It’s as though, one’s meant to die once they share their drink with another person. Following the great example Jesus Christ set for all mankind, on his last supper with his disciples, His sharing of the drink with His disciples, was a lovely gesture of showing how much He loved them: knowing that amongst them, would have his betrayer emanating!

Washing down of a sweet friendship that’s been in existence, out of a bad joke or rumour, is very common, these days. Picture this couple of friends that has been together for a little over 20 years into friendship and all over a sudden, one is so upset with their friend over something seemingly small. I’m of the view that these two could have looked past this “conflict” between and probably talked over it, to find a workable solution to it. Sulking and upsetting over it don’t help matters, don’t you agree?

I find it mind-bogging that humans daily try to preach the gospel of love and loving but for some reason, putting into practice what they preach is so difficult to measure up to.
Do you ever realize that we, humans, just need love? Regardless of the dosage, from who’s administering and prescribing it, to it’s nature, love has never killed anybody. It’s only when love is under-administered or not given at all that problems arise! Unappreciated love is the dangerous side of feeling unloved.

All these incidents we see happening these days, in our world, are happening simply because there’s that “inadequacy” somewhere along the appreciation chain of love! All we have to do is to find that loophole and seal it permanently with truck-loads of love!!!
Needless to say, that once we give out love to people, we should be expecting back in return or kind! At times, it just never returns as we thought it would and end up so heart-broken. Not everybody is on the same page of love and loving. Take for instance, the children from broken families. Their needs of life aren’t exactly in line with “love” per say but being provided for first, and then, make them reconnected with their inner selves. Thereafter, they feel love itself, for what it is.

You might be taken aback by adult-looking individuals who are crashing in, on failed relationships.
It’s okay to feel that way: I mean, that’s the world we are living in, full of stereotypical sentiments. Suicidal thoughts spring up, once in a while in these people, for one reason…they are missing that link of appreciation.

You must know that once somebody feels unappreciated, they build a guard around them that only lets them see as far as they can see! This is when you begin questioning as to why someone is defensive and “off” with every little thing around them. Love!!! Love!!! Love!!!

I tell you, to learn and sincerely make the effort to love more than you did yesterday. Loving isn’t meant to have boundaries and limitations to it like one’s colour, beliefs, thoughts and ideas, their likes and dislikes, sexuality, name, appearance, friends among others. Boundless love is what our world needs…not even the medicines in your cabinet, connections in society, where you’re from, the religion you subscribe to can change that!
…I mean, would you hurt the person you “claim” you love to the moon and back?…

Simple actions like hugs, holding hands, patting one’s back ,rubbing bodies, feeding somebody, washing the feet of somebody else, extracting o food material from one’s teeth, making someone laugh, speaking warmly and kindly to people…are some positively-building actions you can start with to make your world and life better!

Try it now, today and the day after. Love more without limitations and your perceptions of the world should be on their way to a better change.
Good luck loving….M.O.R.E
A life without love is no life at all.
✊✊ you can say that again!!!
We all belong to each other. I wish people remember that. Definitely not enough love in the world, these days.
❤ thank you!
I always enjoy your positive outlook and encouraging words.
Aaawwwww….thank you Daima, honey. ❤
I truly wish more people had your mindset. Choosing to love instead f joining the hate FEELS so much better and I wish it wasn’t so easy to delve into the negativity. I do try and make a conscious effort to spread as much love and positive vibes as possible because I feel like the world sincerely needs that. I love this post so much.
Aaaaawwwww….thank you Flo, honey! Love wins…and it’s all that we need. ?❤️
This is a wonderful, touching post gives me faith in humanity.
Aaawwwww…thank you, Joanne! ??❤️
Great read. It is easier said than done but love starts with small gestures and it multiplies! I started paying more attention to myself on the road, instead of being mean I am trying to be super nice and to my surprise even the old grumpy man is being nice back to me haha
Aaaahhhhhh….that’s good, Deimile. I’m so glad to hear this. ?? Keep it up. ❤️
I believe every word of this.
Aaaawwwwww…I do too, Andrea! Thank you. ?✊❤
What a beautiful message! We all want love and yet we treat others unlovingly. Your message is something the world needs. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome, Kristy! ❤✊?
It takes two to tangle.
But most can’t love more because they might have fear of intimacy, low self worth, dependency, abandonment issues, codependency, attachment issues, childhood abuse, addictive behaviours, perfectionism, personality disorders, the list is endless…….
Hhhhmmmmmm….so right, you are Mooh, on this! Thank you.
I simply had to thank you so much again. I do not know what I could possibly have taken care of without these strategies shared by you on this concern. This has been the frustrating scenario in my position, but encountering a new skilled form you resolved that forced me to jump over happiness. Now i’m thankful for this information and as well , sincerely hope you realize what a powerful job you’re getting into educating people today through the use of a site. Most likely you haven’t come across all of us.
Aaawwww…..thank you too, Julio!
Hello there! This is my first visit to your blog! We are a team of volunteers and starting a new project in a community in the same niche. Your blog provided us useful information to work on. You have done a wonderful job!
Hhhiiii Mee! Aaawww….am very thankful for that. Thank you too, for appreciating.
Much love.
Yes, definitely something I think about often. Why aren’t small acts done more frequently? They are so small and easy to do. Kindness is rare these days but I try to surround myself with only the best.
😍😍 good for you, Christine!
I wish there were more love in the world. It’s the thing that keeps the world turning, but it seems to be in short supply these days.
😳😳
This is a question that I ask myself frequently. We need so much more love, but we seem to be running severely low on it.
😳😒 i wonder why!!
I love your posts so much. They’re always so heartfelt. This was so touching.
😍😍 thank you, Stacie!
We are all deserves to loved and to be loved in return and I wish that we learn to spread love to every people most especially these days.
😍😍
You would think that loving others would be so easy, especially once you see the needs people have that you can fill. I wish the world could focus a little more on this.
😩😌
I think todays society has a individualistic mindset instead of a community one which is sad. There’s so many people who lack empathy which also sad. Opening your heart to love, empathy, and kindness to others just makes such a huge difference and a more fulfilling life.
😳😳
as always – well said from the heart!! you should create a pinterest pin with that quote “Love more without limitations and your perceptions of the world should be on their way to a better change.” 😀
😍😍 I think I will!!!!
We deserve to be love but unfortunately in this kind of reality seeking love is really hard because of your imperfections but I really love your mindset awesome post for today!
😳😳
Empathy and compassion, we need it now in the world! We need to all love each other and unite!
😍😍 for sure!!!
I agree! It’s so easy to just be kind.
Yyyeeaaahhhh…but well, we all know where we stand in that department!!!
we def need love in our lives, especially as children.
💗
