No 1620 of Living Life Series 1
The day a man loves life for what it is, that is the day he loves himself and find it easier to love what he has, what he can have and what others are.
If a man loves only himself and not life, that is a different story. He is likely to want to be special to God. He forgets that God loves all regardless of religion and even if none.
Self-centred love more than love for others is not the ideal. There must be love for life and all that is in life. Even the upsets in life should be welcome and loved, for there is learning from the experiences.
Religion must not promote dominating self-centered love. Religion must be pro-life and promote love for all beings and not a select few.
God is not for select few or for just self-centered love but for borderless and boundless love for all beings.
Bo Tien 武天 stresses that love is what life all about. Be loved and have love. Love even those who don't love you and one day they will love you too. So what if they do not love you. At least they will not hate you more.
We must go for the love of all and this must include love for self. But having only love for self and not all is to be ungodly and not what God will want in us or in any religion of man. Bo Tien 武天 echoes this.
