Love and respect for each other is mandatory to the effort of uniting. Folks say they love their brothers and sisters, yet they waste no time in abusing them. Pure love, love that generates good feelings, mother-love, brother and sister love, wanting you to be safe-love, wanting you to feel good love, self-love, friend-love, race-love, I am here when you need me-love, are people. But until we learn  the importance of love and respect we will continually fight against each other.
