Communion with the brethren, that charity

Abstract

Everyone wants to be loved by other people. Not only children and adolescents but also adults are asking -in various ways -for love. The difference is that children usually do this directly and loudly, and when they grow up, then theybegin to obscure the need to be loved, or express it in an indirect way, non-verbal, for example, by bitterness, anxiety, depression. Also, aggression toward others or toward themselves is often a form of disguised cries for love. Even states suicide is usually a cry for help and love, not death. We're hungry for love. We all want to get other people to love us, sometimes we demand love. We live in a world where many would like to see others love them, and few require from each other, to love other people,from those close to the family circle. Those who do not love, discourage others to show them love while they very hard to believe that love exists and that someone loves them. The education should therefore emphasize the close relationship between love offered, and the love received.
