LIVE LOVE
FOR YOU - FOR OTHERS
Love is like Oxygen
We cannot survive without oxygen and we cannot grow without love.
The Love Atom includes eight virtues in the orbitals, representing the eight electrons in an oxygen atom. Love is fundamental to ALL relationships in our lives, not just romantic and familial connections. Understanding the ancient Greek definitions of love is a key first step in The Love Atom philosophy.
Why The Love Atom?
Creative Evolutionary Love
The Love Atom is inspired by Charles Sanders Peirce's philosophy of Creative Evolutionary Love: a cosmic force guiding the universe toward complexity and consciousness. The concept shapes not only cosmic evolution but human ethics, emphasizing cooperation, growth, constructive creativity, and diversity. It embodies a worldview where love is a fundamental nurturing force that propels all life and humanity toward our best selves.
It starts with you
Loving yourself well is the first step toward loving others.
Knowing yourself and communicating well with yourself is a lifelong journey. It's crucial to be on this journey in order to love others well. Just like we need to put on the oxygen mask first in an airplane before we help others, understanding and loving ourselves must come first.
