One more why

Why is it that so much teaching from religious sources sounds good and right but lacks real power or oomph to change you or grab you? I believe it is because of this. It is focused on quality of life, rather than on love, which comes inside of a relationship.

I believe that most of the world is living for the wrong goal, which is quality of life. This is a very secondary goal. The first should be relationship, with God and with your brothers and sisters.

Therefore, when the second goal of life is placed ahead of the first, it is literally like trying to put the cart before the horse. Because nothing will work correctly without love, since we are beings created for love. We are, literally, spiritual love machines. Love is what makes us work. Nothing else. And lack of love is like trying to run a car on kerosene. It may go, but it's not going to go right.

So, all of these teachings are telling you truths... so you know that they are correct. That is why they sound so correct, because they are. But they are also missing the one key vital ingredient that makes everything else work.

Therefore, I say, to anyone who will listen... Go for Love!! with God!! And with people!! It is the most worthwhile goal!!
