"Let's Love A Lot"

Whether its Allah, Jesus or Buddha, the key to peace is love. It's very cheesy and it's very hippie-ish, but none-the-less, I believe it's the truth; or at least a truth worth accepting. With all of the segregation, political backlash and sexual deviancy going on next door, we should never forget to still "Love A Lot".

This thought was inspired by a song on the new M.I.A album "/\/\/\Y/\" entitled "lovealot". Contrary to the lyrics beaming into my headset and while I love this song; I'd rather not fight those who fight me. When people add more aggression to an issue, the issue only becomes bigger. Interesting enough, it almost seems as if aggression is the child of righteousness; after Ego and Righteousness met at the bar.

I believe that there is nothing wrong with individual faith. While some extremists are saying that religion is the cause of all wars, I view it different. Righteousness can close more minds off than any concept on earth. People have the right to believe what they want, but respect those who differ. Faith in your God is great, but why tell the man who is praying to Allah to forget the Muslim faith and come to your church? That adds salt to an already deep worldly wound.

Often times on the evening news and even in some new optimum cable commercials, it seems that people of opposing point of views are always fighting. If person A likes a certain football team, person B must quickly run out and vandalize their property. Why? What ever happened to agreeing to disagree? I believe that the greatest thing on earth is the opinions and feelings of others and if you don't agree with that, I accept that.

What's truly important in this world is an open mind. An open mind to hear what someones heart is saying, an open mind to listen to ones heart and soul. As people of the righteous right, we forget to even listen to our own desires and before we know it, were fighting against others. If there is anything that is worth living for, it's living to "Love-A-Lot". In a world with so much bitterness, envy, greed, crime and hate, that is the absolute only anecdote we have left.

No matter who you are or where you are, "Love-A-Lot".
