Love and Passion = Humanity:)

Humanity is filled with love and passion. That passion is what motivates us to act the way we do and create the world around us. Humans are the only creatures on earth capable of taking their complex feelings and emotions and applying them to action, art, science, and society. We forge ties with others based on this love. You cannot find the same bond between a mother and child or a couple deeply in love like the ones found in humanity. While we have the capacity to hate and perform acts of violence, it is our love and compassion that makes us uniquely human.

Compassion for others motivated Mother Theresa’s work in poverty stricken areas of India. This same compassion and the desire for equality was what pushed Martin Luther King Jr. to peacefully fight for civil rights, as it did for Mahatma Gandhi in India. Passion for art was what created works such as “Starry Night”, “Mona Lisa”, and The Eiffel Tower. Literature is created for the same reasons, Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, and The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery were all written so beautifully and eloquently that they could not have been made in the absence of passion. Humanity celebrates life in its varying styles of art like the modern styles graffiti, hip hop, and filmmaking as well as the traditional classics. As seen in our celebrations that range from a wedding to Woodstock humanity creates and acts for the sake of love.
