Where Would We Be Without It?

from The Everyday Human · host Eastin DeVerna

May: On LoveMay 11Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from Terry Pratchett's novel Sourcery.Love—it’s what makes the world go round. And it’s what allows us to survive on that same world made of rock and water, hurtling around the sun at 67,000 mph. Love is a beautiful thing to have, and some of the pragmatists or cynics out there might say, “Eh, it’s fine. But it’s a luxury. You don’t really need it.” And to that, I say, “Nay, it is essential in how it binds us together socially, emotionally, and even biologically. It’s how we survive this—whatever this is. It’s what makes life worth living.” Reflection title: Where Would We Be Without It?Creative inspiration: Terry Pratchett, SourceryReflection Question: What will I do to spread the love today?
