About This Quote
In a world plagued with commonplace tragedies, only one thing exists that truly has the power to save lives, and that is love. Love has been described as a force for good in many different ways. In the Bible, it is called “the greatest of all treasures.” In Shakespeare’s Richard III, King Richard says: “Love is a blind thing; love cannot see, cannot mind, cannot think. It's a little thing that makes us wise, and can make fools of us too… But no matter how the lovers may behave the world still laughs at them… Love is a kind of madness.” In this quote from Shakespeare, he captures the essence of love in all of its form.
Love should be something that is freely given out as it makes the world a better place. When people love one another and do wrong to no one, the people of the world can rest easy. Unfortunately, is so rarely the case.
Instead, our world is loaded with competition where people only love themselves. They are bound by success and that success often comes by doing wrong to people. The idea is that someone else must fail if another person has to feel success.
Take sports, for instance. As one team wins, another loses. And, with the unfortunate rise of unsportsmanlike conduct, fans of winning teams are all too happy to shove their victories in the face of the fans of the losers.
The idea of us versus them has become the way of the world today.< br />< br />It is said that "love conquers all" but what does that mean? Is it just an illusion or can it really conquer?< b>
