Love exists in so many ways. We get so caught up on the romance and sexual attraction, but there is so much else that needs to happen in our lives that is supported by love and can be moved forward by love. First, we will consider that love is a feeling of wellbeing as or toward an entity, a flow of happiness in that direction.

So, let us examine this. Is it true that we must have some regard for ourselves, to care for or love someone else? Do we love our family? And doesn't that have willingness to help as one of the component parts? Do you wish each of them to be happy? And full of health? If not, is that love?

Can we love our groups? Our school? Our Church? The people at work? That loose accumulation of friends that are the longest lasting of groups? Our country, a huge and therefore a fairly abstract entity? How would we exist without this love?

And then mankind. Do we love us as a whole, an entirety? Are we all creations of, children of God? How can we rise above petty thought, to reach a level of greatness that is part of our inalienable nature?

All these questions, and only you can answer this for yourself. This is simple, but not always very easy. "Who said the road doesn't have bumps? It can still be traveled." L. Ron Hubbard
