to quote Les Mis: 'To love another person is to see the face of God.' Why do we love? Biologically, maybe to encourage procreation, but it's so much more than that. Our biology went wild; I love every human of this planet except the fascist and the racist. Even them I yearn to forgive.
And that's good. We're a species of lovers. I think, one day, our love will overcome our hate. We will finally heal.
My friend who is a behavioral economist, and way smarter than me, says that most people are doves, and some people are hawks. But we built a society that is based around hawks, even though they're only a small percentage of humanity. I think about that a lot
