I’m not sure if a perfect world is possible by Sara Mansour

I’m not sure if a perfect world is possible but what I do know is that the root of all of that possibility is love. Not the kind of love you have for Maccas sundaes (a self-serving love) but rather the highest form of love which transcends the self. Agapi, or selfless love, has the power to change the world because it means you can encompass love in your heart for someone you have not met or for a movement that doesn’t affect you but drives justice for others. If our society was underpinned by a love this strong, we would all have so much empathy and hope in our hearts that any other way of living would be inconceivable.
