Love's Currency?

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect. 

     I once wrote about the idea of the public purse. These words were related to the idea of Government allocating monetary resources. These could be for Government funded projects, or for the purpose of social financial assistance. Whilst financial assistance for those who are in need is beneficial, the public who is receiving these often find themselves in a place where there are implicit obligations, even when in a place of vulnerability. This refers to the idea of possessing public money for the purposes of survival. Diverse individuals live within a nation, who possess a variety of skills, beliefs, and also political affiliations. But what happens when ones beliefs, political affiliations, or sense of patriotism are not aligned with those of the host country? Should the individuals be considered treacherous, evil, villainous, or even someone who should be despised?  When we think within this line of thought, we can also question an individuals human rights, and being able to access public funds during harsh times. 

     However, its not just about political affiliation, or patriotism - what are we to expect from the tons of migrants and refugees who seek a safe haven, from a nation that they are forced to escape from? Should these individuals be obligated in any sense?  This is where as humans I think we have lost our sense of compassion and empathy, towards our fellow human beings. I say fellow human beings, because this is a term that identifies everyone within a common ground. But then I thought about the public purse, the implicit obligations, and wondered about the idea of a love purse. 

     What if the love we received from our particular affiliations, relationships was then passed on to loved ones living in the host nation? Should this love be viewed as treacherous, evil, villainous, or should the love be despised? Maybe it would, maybe it wouldn't. But the fact of the matter is, love itself can be thought of as a currency. Love received enables the giver, to give. To maintain relations, inevitably creating a domino effect. To serve and strengthen those around you. So I continue to wonder as I think about the implicit obligations that are present. Even in a position of vulnerability. From the lens of the public purse, as compared to love that is given or received, that is essentially building the host nations population. Yet, somehow the love that is given and reiceved even from the place of vulnerability, is never thought of valuable, or even a form of currency.

To give love even from a place of vulnerability is especially of value, because it allows you to invest in the relationships around you even from a place of vulnerabilty, which the public purse does not recognize.

I am a little upset because I could have done more today but I was left to watch over some kids and I kept making sure they stay away from sharp objects. I think the nine year olds are bullying the little kids and I can't just stand there and watch. I have to talk to them one by one and it kind of stole the time I alloted for working. Even so, I am glad I was able to spend time with kids. In as much as I want to believe that you can feel younger when you are around them, it really is not the case. I think I am getting sick if this continues for more days. I am so tired of baby sitting today but I can't really complain because I think these kids are really awesome.
