Thanks for posting this, even though it got me a little teary eyed!

You're definitely definitely right, people need to be reminded every single day how much love is in the world. There is sososo much love, an abundance of love, just waiting to be embraced by, and spilled out from, every single heart. We just need to remember it is there.

I hope people start more posts about love.

Also, on a side-note, I do not 'support' the war, especially our current wars, because I support human life and peace too much. I mean, I really do not understand the difference between 'murder' and 'killing somebody because your corrupt government told you to.' But lots of times when I bring this up people try to accuse me of being anti-american or anti-soldiers or anything else along those lines, and they seem to think that I am angry at the soldiers for doing what they are doing. I am not angry at them. We are all here playing out a purpose in this World, and the soldiers are doing theirs at the moment. So when people ask what I say we should do to/with our soldiers (they seem to think I am in support of prosecuting them or something) I just say, "Bring them home. Let their families be happy, let them be happy to see their families. Let them love. Let them live their life. And let those we are killing abroad do the same....and then prosecute our government 'leaders.'"
These videos are terrific examples of why these soldiers need to come home.

Thanks again.

I do not think you are un-american at all.

I think the problem is the terminology people get confused on.

I do not support war at all - but I do support people defending theirselves.

I think war is just the term we have for "Legal Murder".

The war we are currently fighting in both Afgan. and Iraq are very strange things.

I listen to the media, and I can't understand why we are even over there. But when I talk to soldiers about it, they tell me stories of the people that live there wanting them there - because their own governments will not protect them.

There is a very different side to Afganistan and Iraq than we are allowed to know.

My friends have told me how children run up to them on the streets and give them hugs, and how older people love them.

I don't like death, and I will never hate a soldier for their actions in this war - so I guess you could say I'm in support of the soldiers, and not our government actions.

It could be argued that the soldiers have a choice - but it's either do what our goverrnment says or go to jail.


And - I cried my eyes out after watching the first one.

I'd really like this thread to turn into an uplifting thread that people continually post on - a thread to go to when you want to feel happy.

I'd like people to post pictures, videos, music, etc. that makes them feel uplifted and have hope.

All You Need is Love

Having been there, I know that youth breeds a positive ideology. It sticks to some of us throughout life but, for the most part, age destroys it... and not because of age itself, but from life experience.

If one could generate a true, deep desire for a homogeneous world where greed and envy and jealousy and bigotry and a hundred of their offspring subdivisions were set aside, you might reach a kind of human utopia. But the world is not that easy to change because those who hold the power are also those who revel in those worst traits of the species.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely... and so we should understand that those who hold even a little power, hold at least some margin of those evils and they are nursed along with their desires, for more of the same.

The anarchists are not so much wrong in their wish for a world without governments and authority. They simply miss the mark in their understanding of the human condition.

The human race desperately needs salvation from some quarter... but if we don't do it ourselves, we will be subservient to whoever, or whatever does.

Love is best applied to those closest to you and then, when the chance arises, extended to those who deserve it. That's really about all that one can do in this modern world of the 21st century.

I agree so strongly. all we need is love.
Who needs fear when you can love?
