LOVE….we all know what
Love is but could anyone really describe the true essence and the power of Love?
I was watching the News one morning and Patch Adams was on Sunrise. He truly is an Inspiration and what a great way to wake up!
He really makes you wonder why in the 13 years we spend at school we never learn about Love….when really its one of the most important things in the world!
In My opinion we are living in a world where Love no longer conquers everything. Adams makes the most inspirational statement:
"One of the ways people in power, your government and my government, stay in power is that if they can keep their population depressed and anxious, they’re not going to be effective social change artists” Patch Adams. A truly inspiring and intriguing man. It makes me wonder...maybe we should
VOTE 1 for Patch Adams!! Patch Adams spends his days traveling the globe spreading the word of love and happiness…it makes you wonder when does he get the time to really experience ‘Love’. But the thing is he really is genuine and he practices what he preaches.
When we are happy we feel good right? So when we bring happiness to sickness we feel good! It’s a pretty simple equation yet its hard to master and stick to in a world where War is the Hot Issue! Patch Adams seems to have mastered the task and is now making sure others can do the same.
Sadness, pain, sufferring, war, hurt, hunger, sickness...happiness, love, healthy, peace, and togetherness…I know which words I would prefer to hear in the news of the world…and it is possible. Patch Adams, Guru of Wellbeing states that the human race will become extinct if we don’t learn how to love yourselves and others. As a nation, as a world we have been taught about the history of wars, history of suffereing…what about the history of ‘love’, the future of being happy and loving? I know…personally…it was not taught in my high school years not even half an hour of the day was spent on the importance of having a SMILE on your face.

So next time you feel a little under the weather…feel a little down…or even stressed…SMILE for a minute and see what its like…I can guarantee you Patch Adams
IS a Happiness and Love Master. So I leave you now in the words of Ben Harper… ‘I believe in a better way!’.
How do I know this?Humans Need Happiness, Patch Adams
