One Apple A Day #468 - Choose love
About ten years or so ago, I was sitting in my grandma's kitchen with her and her brother. They were sharing funny stories of their childhood when my great-uncle, out of the blue said "Fabio, you know what the problem is nowadays? There is not enough love in the world". I still remember vividly that moment.
A few years after, my girlfriend took me to a talk by Sujith Ravindran. At that time I didn't know him, and I didn't know that it would be the beginning of a life-changing friendship. I don't remember all the details of that evening, but one sentence remained with me since that day. "Fear is the opposite of love."
This morning I picked a Be The Change card saying "Power + Love." I immediately recalled those two moments.
When I read the news, I realized that too often power is driven by fear and as such, it is used to divide us.
And I'm honest, sometimes I feel there is nothing, as an individual, that I can do.
I feel powerless.
But this card, this morning, reminded me that maybe, there is one thing I can do.
I can choose love.
