Ziggy Marley, accomplished reggae artist and son of legend Bob Marley, has said before that love is this generation’s form of rebellion.
Some of you might know his song, “Love Is My Religion”, in which he explains that his newfound religion is love; self-love, love for mankind, love for the planet, etc.
His song inspired me to open up to true love; not the over-hyped and romanticized version of love we’re conditioned to think is all we have. There’s a much realer and more authentic form of love waiting for us to realize it exists, and the moment we open up to it will be the moment we discover the best form of rebellion.
The New Rebellion
Whereas before, rebels fought the powers that be out of anger for the world’s condition, the new rebellion is to love this world into a higher state of consciousness free from corruption and greed.
The idea is that love, if shared collectively and encouraged worldwide, will make for a far more effective and lasting change than angry rebellion. According to self-proclaimed love revolutionaries, it can heal corruption and suffering as long as we’re willing to share it.
