Love has always been an essential element of my life as a whole. I always tend to love people unconditionally . I love my Mom to death, she is almost everything to me. I took the loving character from her and i tried to the best of my abilities to love all the people who cross my life.
I have had a great passion towards relationships and i have written in previous posts how important human relationships are to me. I have been knwon as a compassionate person who is always cheerful and nice to others. I do all i can to laugh at the face of other people no matter how bad my mood can be, no matter how hurt i shall feel down inside me, and no matter how bad a person treats me. I forget all that and i tend to react with a Big smile full of Love!
One day i asked myself this question: Can Love heal the wounds created in today's world due to hatred , crimes, wars, unfaithfulness,racism, and many more negative actions? And i did not hesitate to answer myslef with a simple one word answer and that is Yes! Love can heal almost everything.
When we are able to love people our hearts are always open and ready to forgive, we dont bear grudges and we dont hate. and this is exactely what we need in today's world.. We need Peace, and when i talk about peace i dont only refer to the geographical and social peace but i mostly insist on the personal and the inner peace of each one of us. Personal peace is a key element to our daily success, and i truly belive that once we are in peace with oursleves, we will be in peace with everybody who is arround us.
Back in 2004, when i was a student at Ashland University , in Ohio , i had a friend of mine whom we were a bit close to each other. Despite the fact that we were from different backgrounds, and different religions, we were able to develop a friendship. Lesely, that was his name, was a living christian who believed so much in his religion and i as a Muslim, totally respected his religion and i was so open to learn more about it, because to me, love should not only be addressed to your friends in person, but to everything arround Them. I believe that every religion is a gift from God and tolerating and respecting it is a respect to God. Lesly was an example of the so many friends i have got in my life who have impacted my life in a very positive way. They helped me discover that when you believe in diversity and when you treat people with different backgrounds with respect and integrity, you are creating a world of peace and love, and this is exactely what we are in need of in today's world.
lets accept each other's differences, lets celebrate the diverse background we all come from, and lets celebrate Love , for it is the yartdstick to our togetherness.... ( To be continued)
