Love is All You Need

By: Megan Young

Throughout our lives, we have learned about love since we were children, specifically from our families. We watch how our families express love with one another and learn how to love others this way. In “A Plentiful Harvest: Creating Balance and Harmony Through the Seven Living Virtues,” author Terrie Williams explains one of the biggest factors about life and loving others: we don’t choose our families and sometimes we don’t always have a lot in common with them. This surprised me because I never realized that we don’t choose our families, but our families were chosen for us. We were placed together for a reason and a greater purpose.
