Love Can Actually Move Mountains Now

Maybe Celine Dion was a visionary…

First and fore most, the social tools that exist today have turned love from a sappy emotion into an acceptable expression. The internet has now actually reduced the effort needed to show love but it can also now have a greater impact.

The community that can now be created using the Web is vast, elastic and limitless. People are getting together and collaborating to fight for change in the Catholic Church (one of the most deeply routed organizations on the planet) and they are also getting together to create encyclopedias.

People can show their passions and love with greater impact that lasts a lot longer by being able to join up with people everywhere who share those deep emotions.The community that develops is appreciative of this love and support and enhance it. A showing of love, like entering an article on wikipedia about something you care very much about sharing, will be around for very many years to come. This is a lot longer than that pair of earrings you bought or the cupcakes you made.It will also continue to be seen by millions of people globally.

Now that is how I want to show love.

Let me break it down mathematically to you in terms of value:

1 hand written card * mom = 10,000 love pts

1 hand written card * mom * shows it to dad = 20,000 love pts

1 text * mom = 100 love pts

1 wikipedia entry = 100 love pts

1 wikipedia entry * 1000 views =  10,000 love pts.

Now imagine if that wikipedia entry reaches 10,000 views by next year or better, 1 million views. Suddenly your love has been shared and surpassed the value of anything you could have created and tried to show to 1 person.

Love can suddenly accomplish GREAT things beyond any perception humans had 10 years ago. So go on, if you have a love and need to move a mountain for it, I bet you can find other people who have the same love and combined…you can truly move that mountain.
