bell hooks Essay on Love Ethic

What a wonderful world this would be. She believes that for this so-called utopian society to take flight, a simple formula of, faith + courage will equal a love ethic. Even as a member of this jaded, pessimistic society of ours, I would love to see this concept take shape worldwide. Could you imagine the wonderful possibilities? No war, no famine, no abuse, no neglect, no drug addicts, just love for all? To have no fear of change is the courage in the equation for this and needs to be the first step "as we love, fear necessarily leaves."(93)and having it take root in small communities, one at a time, as she states, "I live in a cooperative apartment building where we all know each other. We protect and nurture our collective, well-being."(101). If we could really absorb that term, "collective well-being", maybe even the most selfish and jaded pessimists could be on board and it could spread globally! We started with the first black President and the motto of Change is coming, maybe it's possible to keep the feeling of hope this country now has and spread it towards this love ethic, maybe.
