Dear algorithm, send me more beagles!
A red-haired beagle looks sideways at the camera with a face that says, “Why haven’t you fed me yet?” A red-haired beagle stares plaintively up from a lounging position. In her eyes lives the age-old question: “When is the last time I had some chicken nuggets?” A red-haired beagle looks dolefully up at the camera while resting her chin against a recliner chair arm. She stares into the distance, dreaming of her next meal. Hopefully it’s steak.

What if we chose to love unreasonably?

What if we chose not to diminish love by hoarding it and gatekeeping it as though it is scarce and fragile, and available only to those who have “earned” it?

Love is our only infinite resource.

What if we gave it the freedom we hope to gain from it?
Image reads: I wonder if this world is so filled with hatred because we consider love to be reasonable. If love is reasonable, then there are reasons to love and reasons to hate. Our choice to act in love or in hate is then determined by the reasons that are most prominent in our lives at the time. But what if there didn’t need to be a determining factor for love, or an explanation, or an excuse, or an admission fee, or an obligation? What if we chose it not “because of” or “in spite of” anything? What if we chose to love unreasonably?
