Love
This word in the english language has come to mean many things... and has varying degrees of intensity. In other languages and cultures, the language to describe love is more developed. I've always wondered why that is. Im sure we all have experienced various degrees of love. For many, unfortunately in our culture here in America, love has become a taboo word... a word that is fantasy and has not real value or meaning other than what is placed upon it. My question is: Is it on purpose that no other variations of the word exist in the English language? We all know that English is becoming "the" international language. Is this a part of the plot to remove the conception of love from the minds of humanity? Is it a plot to keep men in a primitive state? There is nothing as nurturing to the mind, body, and spirit as love and unfortunately, most even in their old age are confused about its definition in our culture. In other cultures, the different word variations for the expression make it quite clear and understood. Other cultures do not doubt love... it is an obvious part of life for them. I'm sure this is not true for all cultures, but most outside of European influence/colonization.
Personally, I see this as hurting the black american (Moorish) community most as this is a category of persons who have been taught self hatred for centuries. How can a community develop self love in a culture that does not cultivate the exchange of love at all?
Its its highest and purest form, love is selfless. Its the love you give/share without any expectation in return. We all need love to survive, however we can survive without love in its purest form. Most people in our culture will go through life having never experienced true love. Many Religions come in to play here because a great number of people in desperation to experience this love they know should exist run to churches, mosques, temples, ect, in order to purify themselves from the corruption of the world. What is this corruption that is spoken of? I believe it is the loveless, primitive, unevolved nature of mankind.
Who is mankind? That is another book in itself that many pan african scholars have spoken about. I will not go into that in this blog. However, those who are aware, already know what I'm inferring here.
Christianity in its pure form provides the best depiction of what it means to really love. It gives the most comprehensive definition of the word love(in its purest form). However many have seen its message abused by the narcissists of this primitive culture that so many are now aspiring to out of greed. Yet even so, I've seen many transformed by the power of love, even if only in theory and in the imagination. "For God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son that they might have eternal life." This is a story. No one has to see Jesus in the flesh. All they have to do is believe in this love and their lives are transformed just from the idea that they are loved by this selfless individual who wants whats best for them. Just think if we as human beings, really began to love one another in this way? How would we change the world? Instead most of live in fear, which is the enemy of love. We like the story, we like how this imaginary love changes us... why not make this a reality in your everyday life and relationships.
We are taught that humanity is sinful. Jesus carried the sin of the world... Jesus was tempted... yet he ignored his base desires and loved anyway. We can do the same thing. The bible states this. Yet we live in a so called Christian society that is one of the most loveless societies on the planet. I believe this is because people have gotten so caught up in a lie... love has become a fictional story that can only be realized in the imagination. This is a sad reality that I refuse to embrace. I have experienced this fictional love as well as real love (that which has been demonstrated in real time, in this life, not only in my heart/imagination). Love in the imagination will only carry you so far... Real Love amongst souls however is transformational and evolutionary.
