Do You agree with this quote

I’m starting my February with all about love by Bell Hooks and I actually started this book in January but wanted to share this quote with you guys. Reading this quote got me thinking can love truly exist without justice and I have to agree with the author there’s no love without justice can someone truly love you if they can’t even stand up for you.This book is really full of great quote and a great way to learn more about love because just like the title it’s truly all about love.#bookquotes #blacklovebooks #blackauthors #lemon8challenge #lemon8bookclub

... Read moreBell Hooks' book 'All About Love' challenges readers to rethink the foundations of love in our lives. It emphasizes that love should be rooted in justice and respect, forming a crucial part of meaningful relationships. Hooks suggests that love is not merely a feeling but an action demonstrated through justice and accountability. This sentiment aligns with various social contexts, highlighting how marginalized groups often face additional barriers to love and respect. The concept of love inherently carries the responsibility of advocating for justice. The rich dialogue around this theme is reflected in the growing literature around social justice, love, and relationships, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences. Readers can engage with quotes that provoke thought about the dynamics of love in society and consider how, in their lives, they ensure both love and justice are upheld. This exploration opens doors to broader discussions on representation, responsibility, and the foundational respect necessary for all healthy relationships. The discourse surrounding Hooks' teachings not only contributes to personal growth but also fosters a community engaged in the discourse of love and social justice.

This book is a classic and totally rewired how I viewed love. I agree with that quote by Hooks 100%. Love isn’t a passive energy and it doesn’t appease anything that’s the opposite of it.

I believe this is true because I once attempted to date a man for 7 months and when a really big accomplishment happened to me and my mother was calling it a scam but I had done a bunch of digging into the organization because this organization is very covert he literally didn't even stand up for me.

I am a person who has always had a huge heart and loved everyone, but doing so I let people walk over me. This quote changed the way I looked at people. Still I love every person and do good to them, but I have chosen to guard my heart and only trust few people and to put my full trust in the Lord.
