Not only "I"
WE is comical to the word "I".
He is mine, she is mine, should be WE are together, WE are united.
I am poor, He is rich should be WE are working class, WE are struggling.
Years and Years listening: TED Talks, happy couples, spitful divorces, "Its complicated" on facebook couples
I've learned that we assume that using WE is just our safety net, and we laugh because to use WE that is what is scary to us because WHAT IF we
are apart for a year, or so, or given an opportunity. As a society love is not a branch in our government it is we who decide to be INJUST but we work
for this "society." This is why we should be afraid of "I"
Now we are scare crows without hearts, jeans with ripped holes, and an ego surrounding our heads like an eagle.
What posses our bodies is "I", the word, that phrase is toxic.
Learning and living to give and to love with who WE are in a relationship, not with who "I" am. Just because "I" is the beginning of the word
That is not love.
Love will follow when "our society" starts using WE, instead of I.
