Thank you from Williams Lake, with plenty of love

Love is the only rational answer to the problem of human existence

Editor, The Times:

Love is the only rational answer to the problem of human existence.

Is love the only satisfactory answer? Love may not be the absolutely perfect answer, but Kamloops uses its ability to find an appropriate answer.

Those caring for evacuees at Sandman Centre brought love to a level that really matters.

I was a B.C. fire evacuee from Williams Lake, where human need was recognized and essential social services was given unconditionally.

The challenge was exhausting for responders.

In Kamloops, I witnessed human beings helping — unified with compassion, purpose, patience, tolerance, kindness, understanding and empathy.

Thank you to those in Kamloops for their loving response to those in need.

If we are to survive, even our emotions must be harmonized with the greatest of problems, purposes and goals — to continue our personal life and to continue the life on the planet we inhabit in co-operation with our fellow man.

Could it be that love, harmonized with the greatest of all problems — climate chaos from man-made climate change — will make human survival on this planet possible?
