“Is that so??”, another voice in my head rises.
“Oh yes, it is!!”, I insist.
“But what about the current wars, deaths, sufferings, hunger, deprivations, destruction and all other horrors and disasters? How are they full of Love?”, it’s not content, nor accepting my declaration.
"I believe, that from a certain and subjective point of view, they are."
Because I refer to Love as to the white colour - White is the combination of all colours, White is the presence of light, (Black is the absence), and in different contexts white can be considered as the presence of all colours, or their absence.
So, I consider Love as the combination of all emotions. It consists of them all, is and can be expressed with them all, and in different contexts can be considered as "the presence of light", and in others "as their absence"...
Let’s go through some emotions, to clarify - Anger is sometimes an expression of Self Love - when someone crosses a red line of ours, our anger enables us to protect ourselves. Other times it can be in the name of loving someone or something else - a group, an idea, a country, etc – we are angry when something resists or goes against it.
Sadness can be the expression of Love for someone or something we lost or think we are about to lose. Which is also an expression of Self Love, we are sad to continue without what and who we lost. We can also be sad for others who are experiencing difficulties, as an expression of our Love to them.
We feel Fear when we think that something bad/dangerous is about to happen to us / loved ones.
We feel hurt as an expression of Self Love – if we didn’t care for ourselves, love ourselves, our ideas, beliefs, values, we wouldn’t feel hurt, or any of the emotions mentioned.
Guilt is also an expression of both Self Love and Love to others, as we feel bad for making others feel bad, whether because we care for the ones we hurt, or because we understand our behaviour was not in line with our values and we also might be worried about the consequences.
We could feel Happy when the group we dislike has lost in a sports game - it will be out of Love for ourselves and the group we do like.
I can go on and on, through all emotions, they are all a part of Love, to self and to others.
And I can also refer to my other voice and answer him – people go to war in the name of Love – for their people, for their beliefs, for their religion. At wars people get hurt and suffer and die, leaving their loved one to suffer. This is all an expression of Love. This is all full of Love. In pain, but Love. The bigger the emotional pain, the bigger the Love. Just like colours are sometimes imbalanced, too much of them, incompatible, missing, or the light is too strong and blinding, burning, or the absence of light can be soothing and relaxing, so is Love – could be messy, chaotic, unbalanced, too much of it, lacking, making people do the worst things, and the best, end up terribly, just as it can be life saving, healing and the most beautiful thing. All is full of Love. All is (an expression of) Love.
I am in no way justifying nor legitimising horrors and hurtful actions! I just wish to emphasise that everything is everything, and that what and how we perceive something, depends on the point (of view, of reference...) we perceive it from. Because maybe, if more people understand that, then more people will be less angry, less righteous, less strongly reacting where not necessary, less fighting, and therefore will spread more balanced Love. And be able to accept more Love. Amen.
