Man must love fully or he will become the lowest of the animals. It is the
power to love that makes him the greatest of them all... for he alone of all
animals is capable of love.
Love is something you and I must have. We must have it because our spirit
feeds upon it. We must have it because without it we become weak and faint.
Without love our self-esteem weakens. Without it our courage fails. Without love we
can no longer look out confidently at the world. Instead we turn inwardly and begin
to feed upon our own personalities and little by little we destroy ourselves.
You and I need the strength and joy that comes from knowing that we are
loved. With it we are creative. With it, we march tirelessly. With it, and with it
alone, we are able to sacrifice for others.
