Empathy

Each story tells the story of God's love, but only if we experience God's love. Understanding all stories through one unified perspective of pure love allows the mind to have integrity. Only empathy can allow us to realize how precious and important life is, because of how precious the lives of others are within love. The gift of life is a presence within all beings, all beings embody the gift of life. Gratitude is alignment with that truth. Nothing would be alive if not for the will to live, the pervasive sense of life as precious.
