Love.

Love is at the core of a human beings needs and desires. We all can only thrive on love. Children who are not loved emotionally can develop failure to thrive. This is where the body stops growing because the child isn't receiving affection. We literally cannot survive without love. So why is it that love is often not what we seek? It's easy to believe that we are worthy because of accomplishments and aspirations. But is is not a part of the human experience to "do". It is the human experience to "be". When we are being human, doing occurs as an outflow of that being. When we are living life being what gives us passion, that passion is naturally going to flow into doing. Being gives us a desire to live life to the fullest. To be human is to exist in the very moment that is present. To be is to know love. Love that is unconditional does not require any movement. It only requires that you accept that love in stillness. And then if your desire is movement, love will allow that. But it doesn't require it.
