The Answer.

What should we do with our lives? The answer, of course, is love.
Love deeply, love boldly, love always.
When you succeed, love those beneath you, because it shows that you have strength. So love humbly.
When you are defeated, love, because it shows that you have strength.
Do not seek justice, because you are not a judge. You can only love.
But when you find that you don’t have the strength to love, love yourself.
And when you feel that you could love the whole world, love your neighbor.
And when there is no one who deserves your love, love everyone.
And if it happens, in loving, that it causes you immense pain, continue. You’re doing it right.
And if you find that, in due time, the world pulls you apart from one another, do not abandon love, because love transcends time, distance and existence.
And when a friend betrays you, do not find it in your heart to act in anger. Act in love.
And if someone whom you love hurts you, forgive them. Even when revenge would be justified, forgive them, because this is love, that you should sacrifice yourself.
And if you find that words fail you, love can fill the silence.
And when you discover that love is not enough to make someone stay, love them more in their absence.
And even when you want to walk away, remain, because love means you never leave.
And when you feel that your heart is broken, love still, because love is the surest antidote.
And if you should feel that your heart can hold no more, love just a little, with the hope that you can fill someone else.
So act in love and it will not be easy. Act in love and you will still know loss. Act in love and you will encounter hate.
But act in love and it will never fail.
