<\/a>: \u201cIf I could speak five hundred different languages \u2013 from English to Urdu and everything in between \u2013 or even if I could speak the languages of the stars\u2026 if I did not use those languages to speak of love, my voice would sound like a cat-fight outside my bedroom window at 3am.<\/p>\n

If I could see the future, or if I knew everything that there was to know\u2026 or even if I had the spiritual were-with-all to change the world\u2026 but did not base these things upon love \u2013 pffff \u2013 well, I wouldn\u2019t really be anything at all.<\/p>\n

Heavens above! If I gave up everything \u2013 all that I \u2018own\u2019\u2026 all that I \u2018am\u2019 \u2013 but didn\u2019t love\u2026 it would do no one, especially me, any good.<\/p>\n

Love\u2026 is\u2026 patient.
\n
Love is\u2026 kind.
\n
Love doesn\u2019t envy another, or go around saying, \u2018Now this is LOVE!\u2019\u2026
\n
or thumb its nose at other people\u2019s attempts to live love.<\/p>\n

Love balances out Self and Other.
\n
Love responds to wrong without becoming self-righteous.
\n
Love doesn\u2019t keep a tally, but speaks to the Now.<\/p>\n

Love does not live with evil.
\n
Love does live with truth.<\/p>\n
