So I'm working on this manifesto right? I ramble and rant page after page about what I believe, why I believe it, why I don't believe other things and all that jazz. I get caught up in my ramblings, trying to think up clever allegories and metaphors, and other ways to explain abstract thoughts.
But I forget what's really important.
I look at all the belief systems out there, trying to make the world a better place. They battle and battle over which prophet is tip top, or how God would ideally have them beat their wives. Or the best way to ignore scientific findings. But they often forget what we need too. (this itself was not phrased in the most loving fashion)
Love, man. Love is all you need. Whatever your motivation for loving humanity, as long as it is an all accepting, pure love, is cool with me.
How many people have written this and expressed this over there years? (I am looking for a number here folks) If everything a human does is done with love in mind (there's some famous quote about this) then there is no reason for pretty much every bad thing in the world. I realize this is extremely idealistic, and most likely impossible to live in a world entirely based on loving the fellow man but I think we all need to take steps towards it.
Everybody, try to think about your actions, eliminate fear (past blog reference) and do more things in the name of loving life, your fellow man, and the planet we find ourselves upon. Whether you think you should love people because a god tells you or not, I think we can all agree that love is that answer.
It's hard folks. Try to live just one day where everything is done in the name of love. As for me, other people are going to be like, "why you being so nice man?" and I'm going to be all, "because if I'm nice other people will be nice" and they're going to be like, "cool."
Argue what is right and wrong,stand up for your beliefs, but do it in the name of love and progress of humanity.

Bryce,
I've definitely had this thought many times before. In the end, love is what is/was/will be important. I wish all the hateful people in the world could understand and feel the power of love, especially those whose hatred leads them to harm others.
I read your blog on fear and the only thing I can think is "doing that would be scary". It's a ridiculous cycle that I am not loving, but like I told you, I appreciate your thoughts, and I want to test this whole, going into fear and overcoming it
KEEP WRITING
Beth
