Loving  _everybody_  is such a supernatural action
that even the Christians admit their Jesus would
tell some people to go to hell, and even the Muslims
admit that Allah would say the same.

I think the most that us human beings can manage
is to love  _some_  people, and to have a sort
of generalised goodwill towards a much larger
number of people. I reckon trying to take collective
actions in opposition to war is more important 
than pretending you're able to love everybody.
It is still important that actions against 
war continue. We shouldn't just shrug our 
shoulders and say "well, at least we tried".

I got the message you sent with your phone
number etc. for my daughter, Erik, thanks
for that. I've passed it on. You can expect 
to see her and my three year old grand-daughter 
when they visit Brussels within a couple 
of weeks. You might not want to answer this 
publicly, Erik, but, if you don't mind, how 
old are _your_ kids ?
