Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world
that we must love our enemies - or else?

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
It is not proud. It does not dishonor others,
It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.

but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

Although the world is full of suffering,

not much money, but a rich you;
not many things, but an open being,
available to millions of things.
- Osho
