Do we need a “Love School”? How would we teach it?
Looking around the world, I see people and organisations, like banks, driven by and addicted to greed. I also see countries spending vast resources on “defence”, driven partly by fear and partly by greed. The profits of defence industries are enormous. People often stay in jobs they hate, in organisations that do no objective good. We do this partly out of fear of spreading their wings and partly out of greed for the “goods” the jobs provide.
We know happiness, fulfilment, and satisfaction come from love, not greed or fear.
I love helping people be their best, inspiring hope and joy in people and organisations and encouraging people. I love learning how to do this better and better. Love isn’t a feeling. It’s a verb. It’s something you DO. I’ve helped dozens of people discover what they love to do and encouraged people to go and do it. Love is whatever you do that leads to growth in the beloved’s wholeness, integrity, health, confidence, and fulfilment. (Which can be an individual, a team, an organisation, a garden, or a planet).
We could, and maybe we must have a world in which we work together in love to heal and savour.
I have spent much of my life learning how to love. It’s the “secret” ingredient that underlies all my practice. Of course, I’ve got much more to learn. We urgently need a “Love School” because we need more love, which will chase away greed and fear.
Now I come to my questions.
Do you think we need more love in the world? Why?
