Love Begets Love

摘要

Beloved, let us love one another; love is of God. The world today is upside down and is suffering so much because there is very little love in homes and in family life-no time for children, no time for each other, there is no time to enjoy each other. An obsession with hurry has been so worked out in our social system that we scarcely notice that there is no time to love. Everywhere the slogan is "Hurry, hurry, hurry." To be aware of the needs of others, to spend time with others, to speak and act with thoughtfulness, patience and consideration, we must give time, a lot more time than most of us are willing to give at present. All need warm, deep personal relationships to thrive but modern life seems to place such a small value on them, compared with the high value placed on money and prestige and pleasure. It is so easy to be distracted and to filter our attention away in countless ways until we find we have little time left for family and friends.
