Love

Love is all that everything adds up to, not love as it is described with such facility in popular magazines, but the kind of love that is affection and respect, order and encouragement, and support. Our awareness of this is an incalculable source of strength and because real love is something unselfish and involves sacrifice and giving, we cannot help but profit from it. Beneath it all we need to engender a social conscience; there are wrongs which need attention, there are people who are poor and need help. We have responsibility to them and to our societies. With no virtues and accomplishments of our own, we have a responsibility to those who are less well off. What we leave to our sons and daughters and successors is what we say, what we do and what we stand for.
