8 billion

 There are almost 8 billion people on the planet, many of them living longer. All of them have needs that must be met, especially because of longevity. We are saddled with problems of climate change, violence, inequality, war, hunger and more. We spend a great deal of our resources trying to solve the problems we ourselves create. 

We spend much less time and effort trying to build and educate human beings that won’t create those problems. In truth, none of these large problems will be solved unless all of us are willing to be generous, intentional, educated and persistent. 

And loving. Love is generous. Love is active. Love doesn’t give up. Love has courage when it’s needed. Love is always aware of the needs of the other.
