Concerned Citizens of The Universe

In part two of this sixth episode, our group considers love from new angles, including a debate about hate (is it the opposite of love?) and an entertaining round of AGREE or DISAGREE.

The word love, for most people, probably conjures an image of two individuals embracing, a family gathered for dinner, or intense passion. Our first clear images of love come from parents or Disney movies, where love is depicted as rosy cheeks or a basketball-sized heart boomeranging through an elastic chest. Other images might come from advertising. As a largely consumerist culture, western society is inundated with products and services promising love, or what feels like love. But the complexity suggested by countless discussions, research, and divorce cases implies a labyrinth fit for the most inquisitive souls. Here, in part 1 of our latest episode, we begin to explore this long-pondered topic.

When thinking about reconciliation, Nelson Mandela might come to mind. Martin Luther King Jr, perhaps, or any of the justice warriors we revere. It might also evoke the words compromise, agreement, or understanding. However! As our curious group discovers in this episode, reconciliation implies so much more. It can serve as the backbone for a philosophy that generates unlimited peace, and, above all, demonstrate the power of the human spirit.
