The Kingdom work and its Economics Chapter 1:Love: a heavy word, often used lightlyMost abstract concepts have some level of ambiguity that leave a lot of room for subjectively discerned meanings. The pursuits of these abstract concepts take many different forms depending on each individual, though society has general definitions for such concepts. The diversity of the real meaning of these concepts can be synonymous to this story; the cast are a couple of blind men asked to describe how an elephant looks like.

We let our differences and the diversity of our opinions work against us, though they hold the very key to the answers we are collectively looking for. A compulsive adherence to ones views, without regard to inclusively integrating all the various viewpoints, often gives a result which holds some partial truth. One will then ask why are we talking about diversity while the topic is about love. My dear friends, conflict and selfishness is one of the strongest enemies to the bond of friendship, which is sealed with love. The polarizing effect of conflicts, especially in opinions and interests often loosens the bond and anything else that love works hard to build.....
