Embrace Love

The world today is experiencing so many emotions. There is war in Iraq and Syria, there are peace treaties signed between Russia and Ukraine, there is hate between the US and North Korea, there is One Love Manchester concert happening this year in Manchester spreading love across not only nations boundaries but the worlds. In these moments the world is in a need for love, the love to caress all its wounds, the love to pull out the thorns out of its body and heal them, the elixir of love to vanish the thirst of its throat.

The black mamba of hate is creeping through many territories today, impregnating various bodies by spewing venom in their veins to make their heart hard and their feelings adamant. Love today is like a vagabond traveler trying to find its place somewhere, to find succor in someone’s heart. Bad emotions like diseases are easy to catch but the difficulty lies in getting cured and become immune from these diseases for the rest of our lives with the help of love. The relief lies in surrendering to love rather than suffering under hate.

The world today is not only heating up with global warming and climate change, but the fight of fists and words also has an equal role in adding up more heat to this system. In these imagined realities, we have caged ourselves so much that there is no way to pass out of these walls.

Love is what we all need today, we have forgotten in our busy life’s the simple yet complicated emotion of love. There are children’s on the streets who are in need of love. There are poor people out on the roads who are in need of love. There are old people who need love from their children’s. There are numerous examples. We all need a big balloon of love and happiness to burst out in the atmosphere to make the vibes better.

The World is encompassing today with various activities. The activities like terror attacks in London and recently in Manchester rustle up the wounds more. The activities which we do today decide the world which we are going to live in tomorrow. Is that will be the world filled with hate, jealousy, lust, greed and insanity or it will be the world filled with love, happiness, faith, hope and sanity? The future is the figment of our imaginations and the imaginations are easier to mould than reality. The future which we will fabricate tomorrow will be easier to build if we sow the seeds today.

Nations are fighting with each other, the people are fighting with each other, there is a new disease called ‘xenophobia’ which is infecting many countries and disseminating into many nations boundaries. Is this why we are here — to fight? Is that all we can do — fight with each other? curse each other? hate each other?. Wait a minute, or maybe that is why we are here — to fight with each other, kick some asses and speak some filthy words at each other.

The definitions are changing and the organs are undergoing evolution. Mouth is not to speak, it is to curse. Hands are not for doing work, they are to punch a face or pull a trigger. Legs are not for walking but to kick some puny butts.

Hate is the wrong home in which we all are trying to find solace. Hate is just the wrong door on which we all are knocking again and again and that door will only open up a place to us which is fully filled with misery. The door which we all should be knocking is has to be the door of love. There is already enough hate and bad emotions in the world to get the grasp of so stop ejecting more in the same place. Do you like to inhale the bad stench coming from your house? Cannot we live peacefully? Is the gene of peace not in our DNA? There is enough bloodbath in this world and we do not need more. The blood is the liquid which should have been running in the veins and arteries instead of roads and barren battlefield to finally soak by this earth or to evaporate in the atmosphere.

I suppose more than the human body the world is in need of salvation today, the salvation from all these bad forces, salvation from all those bad emotions. I hope maybe we will find a ritual for that too and burn all these bad things into ashes and drown them in some river somewhere so that when the times come the soul of this world can rise up in the air and find its place somewhere in the heaven.
