Love and Humanity; Apathy and Dehumanization

They say love is a powerful thing. But…it’s becoming clear to me how few people actually really love, or know what love is, and most importantly, how fragile love also is. 

The pain of heartbreak is pretty much the only way for people to wake up to that realization, if they ever do; only after which can they hope to be diligent and disciplined to practice deliberately. Likely one of the saddest things in life. 

Hate and apathy are much easily accomplished than love. Trouble is, for some people, upon heartbreak, they descend into the pit of despair, hatred, or apathy. 

Love is also the strands that weave us together into a cohesive and mutually cooperative web of humanity via humanization. Hate and apathy dissolves that, via dehumanization.
