Question from the Internet:

“What Is the greatest asset of any human being?”

The greatest potential asset of a human being is our ability to love. On the other hand, “true love” is something we need to learn, as it is not installed in us by default.

By default “we love ourselves”, meaning we make all calculations, decisions only for our own sake, following a completely subjective, egocentric “pleasure/pain” program. Moreover, knowingly, unknowingly we succeed, survive at each other’s expense, and when we “love someone” we do so as long as we receive some benefit, pleasure from that “love”.

“True love” is the totally selfless, unconditional service of the desires, needs of another, through the viewpoint, expectations of the other, without any selfish, subjective calculations, bias, when I exist only to fulfill that other without any consideration to myself.

This “true love” is the same as how the cells and organs of our own biological body relate to each other and how all elements of Nature interconnect and cooperate — this way facilitating life.

Just imagine what life humanity could facilitate, sense if we learned how to relate to each other through true, Natural love?!
