Philosopher Abraham Maslow on Love and Death (Philosophy)
“The confrontation with death — and the reprieve from it — makes everything look so precious, so sacred, so beautiful, that I feel more strongly than ever the impulse to love it, to embrace it, to let myself be overwhelmed by it…. Death and its ever-present possibility makes love, passionate love more possible.”

to let it go."

Take a man and steal tomorrow, all that's left is you

Brothers, sisters, children all dying for love.
Refugees of liberation marching on,
Sing your song, rock the nation, write of wrongs."
