Love in Equal Measure

​Most religious belief systems emphasize the importance of love and how it can positively affect our lives and our world. Love is a power so strong, yet seemingly weak to those who do not understand it, that it can transform any life from misery to happiness in an instant. As we learn to love others—even our enemies—let us also remember to love ourselves equally. Love should not be measured out a little here, a little there, and a whole lot to those who believe, act, and think as we do. Love should be given with abandonment to everyone we meet.
