Wen Tzu - Verse 103

from Verse One Hundred Three
So no humaneness is greater than loving people, no knowledge is greater than knowing people. If there is love for people, no one is punished because of a grudge; with knowledge of people, there are no random policies.
~ Wen-tzu: Understanding the Mysteries ~
Isn't this what the world is missing the most? Love?

If we each loved the world as much as we love ourselves, justice would reign. There would be no discrimination and prejudice. War would never be considered and poverty would vanish overnight.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love. (Yes, it sounds corny, but...)

    Sounds good. Doesn't work.
    The sad truth is we don't love ourselves.
    We could, we might, but as it stands, we don't.
