Love is a positive and active force in the world from "summary" of The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm
Love, as a positive and active force in the world, is a concept that transcends mere sentimentality. It is a verb, an action that requires effort and intentionality. Love is not simply a feeling that comes and goes, but a commitment to the well-being and growth of oneself and others. It requires courage and discipline to cultivate love in our lives, to choose to act in ways that promote connection and harmony. In a world that often values individualism and competition, the practice of love can feel radical. It challenges us to look beyond ourselves and our own needs, to consider the needs and desires of others. Love is a force that can inspire us to act with compassion and empathy, to seek understanding and connection with those around us. It is a force that can unite us in our shared humanity, reminding us of our interconnectedness and interdependence. Love is not passive or complacent; it is a dynamic force that propels us towards growth and transformation. When we choose to act with love, we are choosing to engage with the world in a way that is nurturing and life-giving. Love motivates us to strive for justice and equality, to work towards a more compassionate and inclusive society. It is through the practice of love that we can create positive change in the world, one relationship at a time.- Love is a choice that we make each day, in how we interact with ourselves and others. It is a commitment to seeing the inherent worth and dignity in all beings, and to acting in ways that honor and respect that worth. By embracing love as a positive and active force in the world, we can cultivate a more harmonious and compassionate society for all.
