A Heart Full of Love

Day 4

Today I will do things a little different for various reasons. 1. I am not loving the layout I have done so far this year, it's a bit too scattered for me. 2. I forgot to take a picture of my outfit today. It was great, I just got so excited about teaching dance (we did a rockin' hip-hop combo) that I forgot.

However, the song of the day is...

So obviously in this context I would say, kind of disregard the Eponine conflict. For our purposes. And instead of including a quote of the day as well, I will just allow the words of the song to serve as the quote of the day.

In a religion class I took recently, we examined the idea that if your heart was full of love, there was no room for anything else. And  I thought, if you tried to argue 'well your heart could be full of hate' I would say that your heart, in reality, is empty. Just like darkness if the absence of light, hate is the absence of love. So why not fill your heart with love, that way negative emotions won't be draining your life energy from you.

Another interesting thing about love and hate is that generally, when you feel love, it is directed outside of yourself. You see the world as a brighter place, and importantly you see other people. When your heart is empty with hate, you look inward, you worry about yourself and how the world is so unfair to you. Let me show you with this top-notch, super high quality diagram.

So of course your heart is full when it has love in it, because there is so much more to put in there. When it is focused on hate, it has to empty because there is nothing to put in it.

So fill your heart with love.
