How can we spread more love in the world?

Respect that others will have a different opinion as you, accept that there is little you can do to change it. Move on with your life.

But all the others must come after we have made peace with ourselves.

By preaching the gospel of Jesus to a lost and dying world. :)

Do unto others as they would do unto you.

First learn to love yourself and then show you love people with random acts of kindness when they are least expected..when you are thanked which you usually will be then tell them to do the same for someone else. That is how love spreads; love breeds love. Unfortunately hate breeds hate and there are more of them than there are of us but we have to start somewhere.

We can't spread love if we don't know what love is.

So true my friend ;-)

Too bad you didn't include an "All of the above, because those are all excellent ways to build a more positive world. Have a good Memorial Day

I think if we fix our own problems, it can be easier to be kind to others. If we're all kind to each other, everything should be good to go.

Beautiful, just keep in mind that while we help others "we grow" and help our own spirit at the same time love ;-)

Yep! Cute picture, by the way.

All of the above, but it does start with yourself first. http://loveoneanother.us/wp-c...

it seems, to me, to be the only way to affect change.

IMO opinion kindness is the key. Each one of us can do for each other in so many ways. Monetarily, with our words and the understanding that we are all different.

"Do Unto Others As You would Want Them To Do Unto You"

For whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Romans 13:8-10

All the above...

One needs to better understand and practice the different natures of love in order to better and practice reciprocity. Then it's a self-feeding cycle. http://sari0009.xanga.com/762...

why can't we just practice it because we have it inside of ourselves already?

That's a nice thought but it doesn't work very well. Better cognition goes hand in hand with better practice.

The human animal, like many mammals, has strong binary (like 'us vs. them' stuff) tendencies and needs to learn better conceptualize the different natures of love in order to spread more love in the world.

A surprising number of people have difficulty conceptualizing reciprocal ethics (e.g. "love thy neighbor") and therefore have difficulty practicing it.

We don't always naturally feel love towards others. It's something we earn and learn our way towards and even then, of course, we'll never have anything close to a Utopian world.

Without intervention, humans tend to create and socially sanction many cognitive and emotional disconnects antagonistic to love.

My answer is that it starts with us
