Respond with love
\n+++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n

Let love be your first response, for your sake, and for everyone’s sake. Advance goodness in the world, not pain or outrage.<\/p>\n

Love always has a place. Love frees you from the burdens of judgment, retribution, and the downward spirals they engender.<\/p>\n

When love is your first response, you won’t waste energy on anger, blame, or conflict. Love can soothe the stress of the situation and melt away anxiety.<\/p>\n

No matter where others are coming from, you can operate from a perspective of love. Seek to act from genuine love, and you’ll uncover the most beneficial options.<\/p>\n

Love will not magically solve all the problems. Love will challenge you to work on truly making the situation better without creating new problems.<\/p>\n
