Question from the Internet:

“How would it change you and your immediate family and with your neighbors if we try to really love that way? How would things change in your community?”

Everything would change if we learned how to truly love each other, moreover, nothing else can change anything but “true love” expressed by the symbolic principle of “loving others as ourselves”.

The problem is that we simply do not know how to love others at all. We are born with an inherently subjective, egocentric nature, we know only how to love ourselves.

“Love” means unconditionally serving, supporting the object of love exactly how that beloved would want, without any egocentric, subjective bias, calculations from the side of the lover.

When we examine ourselves and our actions honestly, we find that we cannot move, act without any selfish benefit, reward, respect, acknowledgment. When we usually “love” another — even our own family — we love because it gives us a good feeling, some security, or at least we secure those others “loving” ourselves back in return for our actions.

There is no “true love: in the human world, as our own program does not allow any move and thought without self-benefit.

If we want to learn “true love: we need to search for examples in the Natural world, seeing for example how our cells, organs of our biological bodies unconditionally, selflessly serve each other for the benefit of the whole organism.

This “Natural true love” is the foundation for solving problems, maintaining health, creating and sustaining life in Nature.

Humanity’s mounting, life-threatening problems, the breakdown, demise of the family, and human society, in general, can be cured only through the “true love” we need to learn from Nature and implement against above our inherent inner, egoistic, exploitative program.
