Love and conflict need each other just as much as we do.
Conflicts abound, from those inside and between us to ethical conflicts of interest and the perennial conflicts of conflicting goals, needs, and ways of existence. Indeed, we live in a period of increasing conflict among ourselves and other living creatures, our planet, its climate, and all of nature.
The dilemma of our day, however, is not our disagreements, but our loss of love and its uniting force. With the essence of love's commitment and compassion stripped away, the passions at the root of our disputes are growing, separating, and killing us.
As our disputes worsen and attempt to settle them fail, the stakes have never been greater, as the threat of human extinction approaches.
Love is so strong that the ancient Greek thinkers referred to it as the deity Eros, who was created from the primordial god Chaos. Other ancient gods descended from Eros, including "Kosmos," who rendered chaos orderly, attractive (from the term cosmetics), and appealing to the eye.
We can feel the primordial beginnings of love's capacity to blend chaotic emotions inside and around us with its fruitful potential to bring forth order and beauty today. We are the result of the passionate and fruitful forces of love. These abilities, which are embodied inside us, are essential for learning how to live together.
To resolve our time's problems, restore order and beauty to our lives, and construct a future fruitful for the development and well-being of our children and future generations, we must uncover the core power of nature's greatest force inside us: love.
The one thing we share with every other living system; every massless and huge particle and planet; every biological cell, every matter, and everything that matters to us is an intrinsic resistance to disintegration. Our natural power, like all matter, is a seed of desire, ripe with the ability to unite, combine, expand, and live a life that is more than a fight to avoid dissolution.
To realize this potential, we must engage in integrative connections, which, as we all know, is easier said than done. We're talking about our attempts to integrate with a wide range of forces that are prone to conflict and pose a fatal threat.
Commitment and care emerge when love taps into the underlying energy of desire. The seductive power of love blinds us to the hazards of our own disintegration as we seek to merge antagonistic and contrary impulses.
When we are successful, our shared commitment to and concern for working together to preserve and increase our wholeness as a partnership, family, community, society, and planet of living beings creates a greater resistive force.
Life brings together our intrinsic and chaotic energies, but love is the taskmaster who orders us to learn how to work together. Love doesn't care whether our powers are opposing, converse, reverse, inverse, obverse, or otherwise.
When the passion of love takes hold, its commitment and caring qualities infiltrate our nascent or injured wholeness, and the work of love starts. We happily partake in the process of giving back to life everything that life has given us, whether it be oneness with our body, our spouse, family, friends, community, or our Earth.
The greatest achievements of humanity are love's success tales. Past conflicts were no match for the remarkable devotion and care of individuals working together to resolve them. We need fortitude and bravery in these times of personal, societal, and ecological strife not to give up on love and yield to the conflicts that threaten to destroy us.
Many people are rightfully searching for the individual and communal strength and bravery that only love can unleash, and many are being deceived by those wanting to profit from the loss of love during times of strife.
Love has become a commodity that has excised commitment from love, while the carrot of care is dangled before us but always stays out of reach. As a result, caring is no longer about love, but about markets such as child "care" ($295.9 billion), geriatric "care" ($1.23 billion), health "care" ($10+ trillion), and self "care" ($450 billion).
Despite our best efforts, we are not faring well. Life expectancy has been dropping since 2014, and although the Covid-19 epidemic has accelerated this trend, the major causes of death, lifestyle illnesses, opioid overdoses, and suicides, stink with apathy, indicating a market failure on the caring front.
Human conduct that hastened the demise of other species has not changed due to the caring marketplace. And caring markets can't stop the contempt that sprouts when love has been snuffed out, and pathological narcissism, the evil half of our fundamental energy, appears.
Conflicts are seldom settled by a single individual with a single solution. Conflict resolution is primarily a collaborative effort driven by a collective awareness centered on a reciprocal commitment to and concern for community unity.
Resolutions born of this communal awareness deepen our connection with our bodies, with one another, with nature, and with all of life. Cultivating a common sense of love is a necessary precondition for tackling the inevitable conflicts that will need healthy remedies.
Thinking in a novel way: Thinking about our shared commitment and caring connections strengthens our loving awareness. Begin locally and see the synergy of love and life at work inside your body. The timely formation and breakdown of tissues, the regular contraction and relaxation of your heart, and the reciprocal exchanges of vital matter between organs are all manifestations of conflicts resolved by your physical compassion and dedication to give you life.
Grow your love: Self-love starts with devotion and concern for your whole being and body, but it does not stop there. Love and life necessitate that we acknowledge that our family, friends, community, and ecological networks are just as crucial to our well-being as our physical body. Love and life compel us to take part in resolving our time's conflicts; to learn how to collaborate, reciprocally exchanging the energy, matter, and other resources that have powered life on Earth for the past 4.5 billion years, including the evolution of life's most recent enhancement; you and all of humanity.
Recognize and enjoy the sensation: With conflicts lurking around every corner, life is certainly a battlefield. Nothing is more energizing than laying on the battlefield of life fatigued and triumphant because we discovered the courage to remain together, work together, and settle the difficulties that face us. It strengthens us collectively since working together brings us closer together in our dedication and care for one another.
Do not be astonished if you and your spouse, family, team, or even your opponent are giving each other high fives and embraces when fatigued from overcoming your life's problems on the battlefield.
