Love is always putting the good ahead of personal desires.
“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.” Dalai Lama
Try to do good in the world, not out of fear of hell or adherence to religious platitudes or even the reward of heaven. Do it because it feels better than being a jerk.
“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” Maya Angelou
“That old law about “an eye for an eye” leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.” MLK
“Sometimes history needs a push.” Lenin
