Humans aren't capable of loving everyone equally, nor are we capable of loving everyone.We are hierarchical beings,as evidenced by our own experience,the organization of society,and history.Also,in real life,there's no easy distinction between love & attachment, despite what Buddhism says and what many shrinks currently say about "co-dependence." You strike me as intelligent,but I sometimes get the feeling that your attraction to Buddhism is unquestioning,ephemeral, & based on its exoticism.

Liked this video very much. Shall go through others as well when I find the time. As a person who came to appreciate and follow the Dhamma after being a very devout Catholic during my youth, I have experienced the happiness that comes from understanding that suffering is due to my own attachment to phenomena that are impermanent. I like to share a thought too. The Dhamma uses the pali word mettha (translated as loving kindness, i.e. love that generates kindness rather than attachment)

NOTE to atfatw:
You should listen with purpose
that you might find a thread of common understanding
with your fellow human beings.

WOW! Thanks Gerald. I've went through tons of videos trying to find one on Attachment that would hit home. I'm on my way to buy that book.
Thank you.

To make a mountain of your life
Is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me
Always love? Hate will get you every time
Always love? Don?t wait til the finish line
