" Love is as essential to us as air, a force that drives us all. It determines who we are, who we become, what we can achieve, and through this, how the world will evolve. It doesn’t matter how much your parents did or didn’t love you, how many friends you have or don’t have, or whether your partner does or doesn’t express their love to you. Only you allow or stop the flow of love into your life. "
― Joseph P. Kauffman , Conscious Collective: An Aim for Awareness
