I was reading this really great book. In this amazing book it says love is all we need to get our lives in order. Love for yourself, for other people, love for the world as a whole. Forgiving ourselves for things we've done, forgiving others, and the world. Do you think this wonderful and simple concept will work?

Love - Forgiveness - and a sense of contentment in whatever situation we find ourselves in. A hard concept for the majority but one that brings a certain peace once found and set into motion.

I sure wish that was all we needed to make it through life. It isn't that easy. It is definitely more complicated that that, unfortunately. I wish we could love on love and forgiveness. It would make the world a more happier place for all of us to live in.

I do not know if it is so easy to achieve for everyone.
I am sure there are people who managed to achieve that. Mother Teresa is a name that comes to mind.
Being creatures of material wants and needs, we tend to be very territorial over our possession and the way we treat people and things. To let everything go and surrender to love and love alone, is TOUGH.
Not impossible, but TOUGH!

I think if every person could think in that way then yes it would work but i think we would struggle to get every1 to think in that way
i mean we would share help each other and nobody would be poor it would be fantastic
