Look to make it better. You feel that empathy because within you there is a knowledge that reaches out from the depths of your soul, answers struggling to be brought forth. Joy will invade you as you give free rein to that which is you and that which is highest and most noble. Look to bring that joy to where joy is not. Some people live within the darkness of their thoughts, not knowing other realities are possible.
Love is everywhere, everything.
You need not search for it, simply recognize it. Let love overwhelm you. Express love in all you do from the humblest task to your highest aspiration. Imagine a world where everyone did the same. Help make it happen.
