The minds that haven't realize unconditional desireless dispassionate love or compassion of selflessness/oneness/non-separateness, would keep hurting oneself and others, whether wittingly or unwittingly, even when everyone thinks and believes that one loves oneself/others and others love oneself, or everyone desires/hopes for a loving community where everyone would be loving and kind to one another.
The 'problems' that people relate to 'insufficient of love/touch/hug', or 'loveless', or 'unloved', or 'loneliness' has nothing to do with the absence/non-existence/insufficiency of 'I love you', 'You love me', 'We love each other', 'Developing a loving community', or 'I love myself'.
It's whether the mind realizing unconditional desireless dispassionate love or compassion, beyond quality of names and forms, of selflessness/oneness/non-separateness/namelessness/formlessness/attributelessness, free from desire and passion, free from ignorance, egoism, impurities, restlessness and suffering, or not.
'I love you', 'You love me', 'We love each other', 'Developing a loving community', or 'I love myself' present/exist only in duality or separateness under the veil of ignorance. They don't mean anything and don't exist in selflessness/oneness/non-separateness/namelessness/formlessness/attributelessness.
The presence/existence/acknowledgement of 'I love you', 'You love me', 'We love each other', 'Developing a loving community', or 'I love myself' without realizing unconditional love or compassion of selflessness/oneness/non-separateness doesn't guarantee that one doesn't hurt oneself or others out of ungratified desires/expectations, dissatisfaction, disappointment, defensiveness, offensiveness, pride, anger, hatred, jealousy, greed, hurt, guilt, regret, grief, sorrow, fear and worry deriving from ignorance and egoism of attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, expectation, judgment/action/reaction based on certain worldly social/cultural/religious/spiritual thinking/belief/values/practice.
Even without the presence/existence/acknowledgement of 'I love you', 'You love me', 'We love each other', 'Developing a loving community', or 'I love myself', but one doesn't hurt oneself and others if the mind realizes selfless/nameless/formless/attributeless/desireless unconditional love or compassion, being free from ignorance and the by-products of ignorance - Egoism, impurities, restlessness and suffering.
Neither there is the idea/identification/acknowledgement/presence/existence/attribute of 'I am compassionate', or 'I love you unconditionally', or 'I love all compassionately', or 'Developing a compassionate community', or 'I am being kind and compassionate towards myself' in oneness/non-separateness/selflessness.
'Building/developing a loving community' is unnecessary when the minds are free from ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, realizing compassion of selflessness/oneness/non-separateness, where none would hurt oneself or others, where there's absence of the desire to give love and receive love, to attain/feel love, goodness, righteousness, positiveness and meaningfulness, to avoid lovelessness, badness, wrongfulness, negativeness and meaninglessness.
Just like drugs/medicines are useless/needless if there's absence of sickness/injury. But still, some people hang onto drugs/medicines using them as a pleasurable enjoyment.
Desireless and dispassion leads to the realization of selfless compassion is LIBERATION in yoga/Buddhism, but it would be perceived by most passionate minds that are under the influence of ignorance and egoism as 'lovelessness', or 'meaninglessness', or 'joylessness', or 'selfishness', or 'inhuman', or 'wrong and negative'. And hence, the idea of "Everyone needs love/Everyone needs to love one another/Everyone needs to give love and receive love/Without love, life is meaningless" is widely propagated in the world and empowering the passionate desire for love in everyone that directly/indirectly bring along the consequences of all kinds of suffering/'problems of humanity' deriving from ungratified desires (lack of love, loveless, not enough love, unloved, not the love the way that it should be). That's their freedom of thinking, belief, action and reaction. Out of love towards what they love, people would hurt anyone/anything that would hurt what they love. Out of desire/aspiration/intention/expectation for achieving/building/developing a world that they desire, that complies to their certain ideal of a world of 'all good/positive/happiness and nothing bad/negative/unhappiness', people would strive to achieve what they want to achieve and eliminate any obstructions/obstacles in their way to achieve their 'desire', at all costs.
The sun doesn't think and feel 'I love you' or 'I am compassionate' and hence it gives light and heat and energy to the world ceaselessly.
The immune system in the body doesn't think and feel 'I love you' or 'I am compassionate' and hence it protects the physical body from potential health risks until it breaks down.
The heart and the lungs don't think and feel 'I love you' or 'I am compassionate' and hence they keep working all day all night giving life to and maintaining life of this physical body until they ceased functioning.
The plants don't think and feel 'I love you' or 'I am compassionate' and hence they turn into food or nutrients or energy for the physical body to consume to be surviving.
'Bondage of desire and passionate love' is being perceived as something 'meaningful, right, good and positive' while 'Liberation of desireless and dispassion' is being perceived as something 'meaningless, wrong, bad and negative' for the worldly minded society, including many 'yoga enthusiasts'.
Opening the mind by freeing the mind from being conditioned by certain worldly social/cultural/religious/spiritual thinking/belief/values/practice to allow the mind to inquire the truth of everything, to see the root cause of all kinds of suffering or 'problems of humanity' - Ignorance and the consequences of ignorance, is what yoga and meditation practice is about.
There's nothing wrong with the idea of 'I love you', 'You love me', 'We love each other', 'Developing a loving community', or 'I love myself' existing in the world, and there's nothing wrong either without any of these ideas present/existing under the manifestation of compassion, or selfless unconditional love.
If the mind insists on thinking and believing that "Without the idea/presence/existence/acknowledgement/propagation of 'I love you', 'You love me', 'We love each other', 'Developing a loving community', or 'I love myself' in the world in life, it would be so bad, wrong, negative, terrible, sad, piteous, meaningless and joyless," then this mind is being ignorant towards itself is being conditioned by worldly social/cultural/religious/spiritual thinking/belief/values/practice, even if one has been 'learning'/'studying'/'practicing'/'teaching' yoga for some time or a long time.
"We need to give and show love to people and tell people 'I love you' so that they'll know they are loved (by others/by so many people), so that they will feel love and have love, so that we can build/develop a loving community that love one another." That's widely propagated in the world, for the sake of love.
In yoga or Buddhism, that's not freedom at all.
In yoga, the greatest gift is giving dhamma/wisdom that allow people to reflect/inquire the truth of everything and realize selflessness and compassion, be free from ignorance and egoism, be free from the suffering from endless passionate desire for love, or craving/longing for love and clinging onto love.
Do not blind-believing, blind-following, blind-practicing, blind-propagating, or blind-agreeing/disagreeing.
Be opened. Inquire. Reflect. Contemplate. Realize.
Realize unconditional selfless intentionless desireless dispassionate compassion.
