How to Live and Love

The idea of dividing and categorizing people into groups, and telling them to accept and believe that ‘that’s what you are’, ‘you’re a Generation X, you’re a Millennial, or a Baby Boomer…’ is the antitheses to nurturing love.

None of this helps people to understand their natural experience as a human being. How to live and love.

We’re born into a world that is always being organised. Always dominated by whichever group of politicians believe they hold the torch of humanity in their grubby hands.

Organised channels of information abound so that we can hear them speak, “follow us, keep your eyes on the torch, we know the way out of this mess!”

And we take it, as if there’s nothing else to think about in life, nothing better to do than watch these people until they have mesmerised us into always and only thinking about their issues. They want our love. They want our undivided attention so that we buy their stuff, so that we vote for them, so that we wake up in the morning and again start thinking about them.

It’s as if life only offers a choice of two options.
