Love... in any langauge

Why so much anger, Facebook? Twitter? Why so much confusion and dissention about drug addiction and the worth of a life? Why is one person's addiction less offensive than yours? Why so much anger about the use of foreign language in an overpriced marketing ploy for a global conglomerate to sell you a product that isn't good for you?

This may be breaking news for some, but a person's life is always worth something - even if it's just a lesson to you on what NOT to do. Love is always appropriate and kindness is never the wrong choice or the wrong answer. Even if you can't translate the words, the meaning is still the same.
In 1986 this song was released and I've loved it ever since. The words seem pretty prophetic for today:

"Je t'aime"
"Te amo"
"Ya ti-bya lyu blyu"
"Ani o hev ot cha"
"I love you"

The sounds are all as different as the lands from which they came
And though the words are all unique, our hearts are still the same

Love in any language, straight from the heart
Pulls us all together - Never apart!
And once we learn to speak it, all the world will hear
Love in any language, Fluently spoken here!

We teach the young our differences; yet, look how we're the same!
We love to laugh, to dream our dreams, we know the sting of pain
From Leningrad to Lexington, the farmer loves his land.
And daddies all get misty-eyed, to give their daughter's hand.
Oh maybe when we realize, how much there is to share.
We'll find too much in common, to pretend it isn't there.

Love in any language, straight from the heart
Pulls us all together - Never apart!
And once we learn to speak it, all the world will hear
Love in any language, Fluently spoken here!

Tho' the rehtoric of government, may keep us worlds apart -
There's no misinterpreting the language of the heart

Love in any language, straight from the heart
Pulls us all together - Never apart!
And once we learn to speak it, all the world will hear
Love in any language, Fluently spoken here!

Cheers,
