“Human beings are plenty loving.”
Of course they are. The question is, are they loving of themselves or loving of others? That produces the difference of service-to-self or service-to-others. In what direction is the love focused? (The thief is loving itself by interfering in the free will of another by taking what is theirs.)
Am I confused? I see “light” as sort of resulting from “love”. Do actions of love for others brighten my light, and do actions of love-only-for-me and hate-for-them diminish my light? It’s kind of like when loving others I share my light with them, and when taking advantage of others I soak up their light. If I want to be able to live in a situation where the light is bright, I need to focus on others. When you hear “we need to be more loving”, the intent is loving toward others.
