So I finished Tuesdays with Morrie last week, but I still want to share from it. It was a great book. I think I'll go back next week and read it again.
Anyway---here is today's lesson from Tuesdays with Morrie...
We must love one another or die. W. H. Aulden
One of Morrie's favorite sayings was "Love each other or perish" taken from Aulden's poem. What different kinds of love are there? The passionate kind is the easiest to see, but how can you love your fellow classmates? What about your teachers? How can we as human beings show love towards one another? What do you think Aulden means by love one another or die?

To me it means love literally is food, sustaining us.
Also that none of us are separate, living individual lives. We all are infinitely connected. Thus to love each other is to love ourselves, as Consciousness, as God, as Love Itself. What we do to others really does come back, not because God is somehow vengeful, but because we are ALL arising in That One. Would you hurt your own arm?
So love is essential.
Without it we create separativeness, and create sorrow, anger, all the rest, that lead to dis-ease and death, spiritual or otherwise.
