THE LOVE THREAD

whodare · Apr 6, 2011

so i was thinking...

i see a lot of hate everywhere i go...

in light of this i though we should have a thread that is dedicated to beauty and love; pics, quotes, stories, or whatever conveys, expresses, or displays your love for the world and all the people of it are welcome...

ill start it off

"We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it." John Lennon

"Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time: the need for man to overcome oppression and
violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge,
aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love." Martin Luther King Jr.

Nice idea for a thread. I love it. :tiphat:

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." ~ Martin Luther King Jr.

"Love is the only answer, hate is the root of cancer..." ~ Yes

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.

Love is by Jah Cure:
"Yea ya no...rasta live
Universal sign of love
Love is the answer my friend
Love is the only way
Yea tru love we can find ourselves
I call our true identies
Love ya brudda love ya sista
Love everyone...the univeral sign
Ill take it from here

Chorus
Love is much more to life than just words
Love is much more than choosing your love
Love is call on me brother
Love is call on me sister

Verse 1
When you love someone...you love from the heart
Cuz love is the start ...yay
Love is the answer for every question
Just ask yourself why why why
Love is the key open the door
When they're closed in your face
Love shows you the way when your lost lost
And cant find your way!

Chorus

Verse 2
Love is the only thing we have to share
Dont you forget that...i hope you hear
Send him a message from you out there
I hope you get it clear..yay
Do not mistake my unmistakable sound
When ever you see my face
always a smile bontax dem frown..."

I find love growing from tree roots, at the coast, on the mountain tops, below the sea, in my dog, everywhere.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

~ Kahlil Gibran

No revolutionary gets old or so I'm told
Your left full of bullet holes when you tell the people go free
Oh, it's a matter of days before they try to take me
I heard gun shots rang; his bullet got my name
I ain't see ?em take aim, I dreamt as day came
'Cause I stood in the face of damnation
Satan spat at 'em, flat out disgraced 'em
He want my blood, why me?
Why not the fake ones who deserve death man?
Fuck it, I'll take one
'Cause stop me but can't stop a whole nation of millions who feel you deceived them
They believe in reparation makes it even
So I'm deadly now because of one reason, they listening
In Budapest, Japan, China, and Switzerland
We getting it in son, another bullet pass by, miss me
Wondering who plotting to get me?
Alphabet boys still plotting against me
To hush me up and stuff me in the pockets of history
You won't remember why they came to clip me
When time go by you'll soon forget me
They say he was the king of bling, jewels, and Bentley's
Then I use one of my lines just to prove I'm guilty
Don't let' em kill me...

Some revolutionaries do live long
Am I one of them? Guess we'll know in due time
Everybody has rights, can I use mine?
Can I rock shine? Can I have a girl that's too fine?
Got a swell life, tell me will I lose mine?
Every time I turn around somebody new dying
Let's start living, alecart, Escargo, Escobar invest my millions
Mansion for the wife the rest for the children
Knowing that they coming anytime
But until then I?m at loss till they shoot me
Million dollar stones in my camouflaged Gucci
Giving you this crack like Pookie
To question the system, be the resistance
No matter what color you are everybody niggas
You can stand by and watch or you can march on with us

All you need is love.
- John Lennon

If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche
that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem.
Love and peace are eternal.
- John Lennon

love is not an emotion. love is action.
love is not about how you feel but how THEY feel.
love holds no strings and has no fear.

Really like that site ! If Humanity were distilled down to a village of just 100 people ....and who would have what & who would have nothing, who is getting born & who dying ... puts alot into perspective real quick. Had lost that link , tx!

* Also has that great quotation at the bottom
attributed to Mark Twain:

" Dance like nobody's watching;
love like you've never been hurt.
Sing like nobody's listening;
live like it's heaven on earth."
~Mark Twain

(might have been taken by him from an old irish proverb)

“The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, the spirit blooms timidly, and struggles to the light amid the thorns.”
~George Santayana

* Just happened to be doing some online search~readings and that instantly reminded me of this quote had just got thru reading from George Santayana tonight ...
thought you't like it to :wave:
