There is a taboo around love individually
and socially. Love is an intimate human (and non-human) experience, but it is trapped in interpersonal relationships. Very often the word love brings to mind many people very specific associations and reactions. Some examples: Church, Christianity, marriage, family, love, attachment, romance, etc.
Love can be presented as a proposal of individual and collective emancipation. Love is a way of embodying mutual help
and solidarity. Adding the adjective holistic love may make it more understandable:
Soil! Plants! Trees! Animals! (human and not).
If we were taught to love living beings
around us there would be a little more justice for ourselves and our environment. Love is not coercive, it is the most immediate experience experience that can move you so that there is a desire to share it.
Love can lead to authentic communication and acceptance of each other. Love can be transformed, it can become knowledge, it can become solidarity. Love can be experienced as happiness or as harmony. Love if it does not lead to communication,
is because he was trapped in how to love the ego, and that is narcissism.
love as a proposal _
for recovery _
of freedom _
and of a dignity
Love if it leads to addiction is because it is trapped in self-destruction. Love
if it was underestimated it is because it guides the 'naive', and 'naivety' is romantic does not fit our days. Love if characterized as utopian
is because it is a difficult sharing and a perpetual self-education process. And so the taboo around love continues to be reproduced by us for us, courage and love is a shame
and vulnerability.
Love is the driving force and the starting point_cc781905-5cde-315- b and solidarity was never just a product logical and anarchist study

o F. Nietzsche, o E. From, o B. Russell, M. Buber et al. Let us accept, let us experience, let us study,
let's self-educate on an individual and collective level to be able to live together. Closing with a quote from Proudhon
emphasizing the importance of empathy,
and if you can not at least try.
"Respect your neighbor as yourself, and if you still can not love him,
do not allow yourself either
nor treat him disrespectfully. "Without equality, there is no justice."
