Wow!

Thanks for posting this.

There are SO many ways to conceptualize and names to use for what this video is describing: the core truth of life, God's will, healthy human psychology and society, LOVE, or (in more detail) LOVE and FREEDOM, etc etc.

Nothing is more important.

The words are almost perfect in this. A few of the images caught in my craw briefly -- Ellen DeGeneres? Ted Turner? -- but I got past that quickly, and for that matter even those who succumb to the Dark Side can have a spark of light and positive creativity in them occasionally.

The narrator (Garret John, I assume . . . ) points out that "we are all the same, you know, 'cause we're affected by the Way." (start at 8:20 to hear that).

That's deeply true, and important. We are all brothers and sisters, and not only with other people but with all life on this planet. Our sameness is why empathy and love are important, and why they are POSSIBLE for that matter.

But there's a yin to that yang, and it is this: We are all different. We are each unique. We each have our own thoughts and preferences and strengths and weaknesses and viewpoints, and that is why FREEDOM is important. Every bit of coercion helps to crush that.

Freedom is NECESSARY for love to thrive, just as LOVE is necessary for freedom to thrive.

We'll have both, or we'll have neither.

The video actually makes that point in many ways, but not in plain English, so I wanted to add it here.
