'Sun for You' by Deniz Ener

The most important thing in life is unconditional love.
Love of oneself, of people, of nature, of the world, of the universe, of life, of God.

'Sealed with a kiss' by Edith Hoffman

Everything else will follow when you accept love as your highest value.
Love is sacrifice, strength, hope, forgiveness, love is the meaning of everything and without it nothing makes sense.
But who knows what real love is?

'love-story' by Bogomolov Denis

Who knows the true meaning of a much talked about and sometimes it seems even devalued word? It is used by everyone, publicly, kitschy, loudly and daily, and that does not mean that they really love. Love of parents and children, love of lovers, love of siblings, love of nature.

The love for nature : we see it, hear it, feel it every day. We also know how much we are hurting nature, from climate change to the killing of the last endangered species to the destruction of forests and woodlands. Is it our true love?
