Love, 1970

 In the last few days I have been thinking about love in relation to the world.  In the Bible the thought is given that you should love one another.  Seeing that I can love everybody, I made a list under which everyone comes under and some come in more than one category.  There are five categories.  These are love thy neighbor, brotherly love, the twelve-point-Boy Scout law-oath of love, an undefined love-emotion, and Godly love.  Let's look at each one separately.
 The first section is love thy neighbor.  Everyone comes under this first part.  You are to "love thy neighbor as thyself", so the Bible says.  This is the hardest to do.  You must love your enemies, just like your friends.
 The second section is brotherly love.  This includes your relatives, friends, father and mother, brothers and sisters, and all those that you feel closer to than just people.  This isn't quite as hard as the first, because you have eliminated your enemies.
 The third section is the twelve-point-Boy Scout law-oath of love.  This may be the most detailed of them all.  This includes your good friends, parents, and those individuals who are closer than brothers.  The twelve points are trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.  These people may not live up to your expectations, but they should try.
 The fourth section is the undefined love or emotion.  You may limit this to one or two people.  This takes out your parents, and your closer friends.  The emotions are brought out be actions.  If one is sad, they you are sad.  If one is happy, then you are happy.  If one is embarrassed, then you are embarrassed, etc.  There is care, affection, want, and need.
 The fifth section is the Godly love.  You are to love God most of all.  He made you and me, and we should thank Him with our love.  In the Bible it says, "God is love".  Without God you cannot have the other four points.  If people would love one another, there would be no more wars, hunger, poverty, and hardships.  We would have peace.  Peace within yourself, and Peace with the world.
