Tom,

this is a quick reflection on your contribution. emotion stems from a
concern. Concern could be of any nature as described by Maslow. When a
community is concerned about certain things it is bound to be driven
emotionally by those concerns. Such emotional driving endures as long as
there is a LOVE for those concerns. I mean to say here that LOVE pervades
in all human actions. Once that LOVE is recognised 90% of the concern is
addressed. Those communities that exhibit and live for LOVE would only
flurish.

Love
