Humanity's Gold Standard

What does it take to be a model human being? Does it take years of education? Or primitive ways of nurturing? Do you have to be breastfed in your infancy? Or to be filled with religious doctrine? Do you have to be rich or poor? Do you have to be healthy? Do you have to be white, black, yellow, red or pink? These questions are not academic You don't need many years of tutoring Or an encyclopaedic mind To know the answers It's the substance of the truth That nourishes the spirit It's the spirit that manifests goodness Humanity's gold standard is not a scale It's our collective embrace Our unwritten covenant Humanity's gold standard is Love It's only the heart of Love That brings peace to life It's only the spirit of Love That has the power to overcome fear And pour itself onto the fabric of life Not to stain but to cleanse and nourish the fibre of existence It's truly remarkable to meet a good person It's not only their words that exudes goodness It's their manner, charm and actions You don't need mathematicians to calculate the amount of goodness in them You just need your heart to embrace their presence It's sad that humanity has abandoned the heart of Love And replaced it with selfishness It's only through the heart of Love That humanity can taste everlasting happiness, peace and Love This is not a fantasy or an imaginary utopia This is the path of Light Unless we undress our hearts of lies, deceit and selfishness We will never know the true meaning of Love Love is not only a sacred divine awareness of the Light in our being Love is the habitat of eternity And the inhabitant of forever Only Love can save us from our selfish ways ©
