There are many ways of understanding love: the love between parents and children, between other family relations, friendship, respect, the sexual love, the love for things and other feelings of love.
The concept that includes the common element of all these types of love is that which best represents the so-called Universal Love which stands out precisely for not referring to anything in particular.
In principle, there is an interesting parallelism between Universal Love and the attraction of gravity. Both forces are general, natural, invisible, powerful… It the enigma of gravity of love.
By observing life, one realizes that he/she becomes rather attached not just to people but to things as well, in short, love is a journey together in space and time.
Therefore, gravity of love, friendship and attraction will be greater directly according to time, the more time spent together, the more love there is.
I Believe In Universal Love , Do You Believe In Universal Love?
Various traditions around the world have advocated cultivating universal love. Buddhist texts such as the Metta Sutta say that nothing is more noble in this world than loving all being as a mother loves her only son.
The Chinese philosopher Mozi says that one should love every older person as one loves one’s own father, and every younger person as one loves one’s younger brother, and every country as one loves one’s own. Various theistic religions say that one should try to love as God loves: without favorites and without conditions and without expectations of reciprocity.
On more than one occasion when I have advocated some version of universal and unconditional love, I have been challenged. Some say it is not desirable for a human being to have such love. Others say it is impossible for a human being to love everyone unconditionally and equally.
Universal love is an expression of the harmony of the totality. Everything is in harmony with everything else. Nothing is excluded. Your will is in harmony with your compassion. Your compassion is in harmony with your joy. Your joy is in harmony with your anger. Your anger is in harmony with your body. Your body is in harmony with your ego. Your ego is in harmony with other people. There is no conflict anywhere. Everything fits and functions as a togetherness, as a oneness. That oneness is you. (Diamond Heart Book 2, pg 173)
