Do you love everything?

Written by me: To love is harder than to hate.
How do or did you get into the ability to love everything around you unconditionally? If you've not yet, are you trying to?

Ever since I had my first ego loss during a mushroom trip I understood this.
Took me about 4 months but I've begun to live life and view others in this way and it has made me such a better person! It's been about 11 months and I've 180'ed from where I was this time last year. Everyone should at least read this, if not give it a chance.
Give love a chance

I know, right. Since others are destructive I should be too, so it's like a loop of destruction. Instead of showing them how much better love is, I'd rather just join the cycle of hate.
I know you were being sarcastic, but I wanted to write this.

No, I'm actually rather serious. I hate humanity - they're messing with my planet, they're ignorant and ugly... What is there not to hate? ...If you want to see nature, they will murder trees and print a colorful picture of nature on it.
Love isn't everything... I prefer knowledge and direct experience shared with the people you are attuned to during philosophical conversation in deep forests on herbal psychedelics.

That's how I was before I grew up, too.

If that is the case, I refuse to grow up - I'm perfectly content with myself :P
I'm not trying to bash your point of view though, if the entire world would be more like what you describe it would improve... Less preconceptions. Until then (and probably after that too if it where the case to ever happen) it's just not for me.

I try to love everything that there is to love, but as void said, there is so much hate and the destructiveness of our society is just ridiculous.

Your general mood plays as a large factor in loving unconditionally IME's.

I think it's best to find a balance between the two, I think if you try to love everything- that "love" just ends up being dilluded.
Or like you said, maybe there's a differant word for it. I wouldn't call it love.
I mean, I appreciate the world around me and am generally a happy guy- but that doesn't mean i'm in a constant state of "love." It's more of an appreciation...
Unless i'm just way too high and don't know what i'm talking about... that's quite possible as well.

I don't love much. I think you are severely deluding the meaning of the word...
I like tons of stuff sure. But I agree masamune.
Why love people who manipulate people for greed or straight up hatred? Why love those who kill others in other country's for no reason? or whatever.. "For their country". or for "God".
If growing up means to forgive ANYTHING sorry. Id rather not "Grow up".
I don't love those who destroy the planet to save money. Or those who pay others to keep down those who try to save the planet from these people. Just so they can keep on making money.

I agree with this. The first time I did enough magic cactus to experience heavy ego-loss I felt that I couldn't hate anymore. Hate is just a nasty feeling.....I notice that I've become extremely empathetic towards others, it's like I can feel what other's feel.

To not hate doesn't mean to love though.
Would you say you really love those who put greed over the planet? Its not like we have anywhere to go when earth is unlivable.. This is our only home, and the only place that harbors complex life, that we know of.
I don't think it is okay to love these people.
Just because they are slowly killing the planet doesn't mean they are not killing the planet.

Then you are clearly not at peace w/ yourself.
