Loving Right
The truth is that we can never love right. We always mess up and cause pain instead of joy. The truth is we all fail again and again. We make promises, but break them instead of keeping them. THERE IS NO ONE WORTHY OF LOVE because no one truly knows how to love. Those we care about the most will always let us down. We disappoint them, we get angry, we betray them again and again. The truth is that all we need is love, all we have is love, because without it we would CEASE TO EXIST. We are not perfect, but we try every day to love again and again.

Natural Nature
Nature has to be natural. We are so silly to think that the synthetic is enough. Why do we settle for anything less than real? There's nothing better than a fruit freshly picked from a tree in your back yard. You can taste the beauty of life when you bite into a fruit that is chemical free. No one has more pride or a better sense of accomplishment that a small farmer who provides for his family with food that he himself reaped and sowed. When we pick out produce from a grocery store, we have no idea how much sweat and hard work it took to bring that fruit to our fingertips. We don't think about the long process, the care, the techniques that have to be put into place to ensure that we get the best fruit to eat. We don't know what it's like to work under the blazing hot sun to produce what is necessary for survival. Most kids in the United States don't even know what kind of trees or plants certain fruits and vegetables come from. I'm not even sure if a pineapple grows on a tree or a bush or on the ground. The first time I saw a coconut tree, I couldn't figure out why the coconuts were so big and green. I was amazed to see how coconuts are cut so that the top layer comes off and the bottom, brown layer that I am familiar with appears. Most of the things I eat, I will never see in their natural state. It's just not natural.
