teach love

 Corporations, schools, governments and non-profits are all engaged in programs attending to racism, diversity and inclusion. These programs are centered around the law and the achievement of equity in the workplace. In the end, it’s difficult to know how helpful or effective these programs are.

To my mind, these issues are moral issues to be confronted on a moral, not legal, ground. I don’t believe it’s naïve to seek the solution in the practice of love, mature and authentic love. We are fed a diet of mushy, sentimental and romantic love. Those who teach us about authentic love, we assassinate. 

We need to understand that the practice of love, like the practice of any great human endeavor, is challenging, demanding and transformative. Worth the effort for the way it makes us human. Why not teach love?
