Professor Ludwig Loftisoft, a renowned professor of philosophy, was talking about God, and creation, and love, to his students.
He said that:
"God uses the spiritual to create the physical world, and then he wants us to see the spirituality that is still within every part of the physical."
"The greatness of God allows him to put himself into his creation, so that nothing created by God does not contain him in it too."
"We need to just look to see God in things, and then we will see him there."
"It is God's love within things that gives them the energy to be what they are within him."
"Your life there must be continually energized by love, as otherwise it can never be truly lived."
"Each day must start and end with God, and any moment in between, not lived with God, must be taken to God for forgiveness. All moments should be lived with God."
"Reaching past the mundaneness of life into the exemplary nature of God's love requires you to soar in that love energy in being your real self for God, and not just remaining your pseudo self, your mere earthly shell."
"Wake up to yourself, by not allowing anything to put you off the path of Gods, but stay on it, by obliging yourself on it with joy, peace, and love, then nothing will move you off it, from desire, wickedness, or from wanting something else."
The Professor then wrote a short poem of his own on the board, and told the students to follow these words in your life carefully.
"Love given to you by God must be given back out with love.
Love not given out is lost, because it's love not given out.
Love lives in all, but love must be given out to come alive.
Do not let love stay put in you, then, doing nothing for God."
And so that ended his short lecture for that day.

We need to love all of creation.
We can see love is on full display among all species but humans tend and prefer to live in hatred and mistrust due to their wrong priorities.
It is indeed a wasted opportunity if we do not realize the potential of giving out love that is in endless supply within us. We think though that love should be kept under lock and key.

Yes, we are here to learn to love more wisely, and openly, and to love as God loves.
We should not be afraid to love, and endeavour not to leave love within ourselves building up as a sandcastle which will be washed away when we die, and which really needs to be given out at all times in our lives, never hoarded away, or locked up in our hearts.

@Shiva49 Other species do love at times, and yet, they can be violently non-loving too.
We need to see love everywhere, but to ensure that we are connecting to that great well of love, inside each one of us too, placed there for us to live from by God, as living water, for us in our lives.

@innertalks Love does not cost us anything.
It leads to the most rewarding and enriching life in terms of spiritual enhancement.
Yes, we need to come out of our shells and spread our wings to alter the landscape taking cues from other species.
