Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.

Insight: There's something we all recognize in this: the feeling that love matters more than anything else, yet we live in a world that constantly asks us to prove it's practical, profitable, or at least efficient. We get tangled in the logistics of relationships—who texted back, what they meant, what we're "supposed" to want—and lose sight of something simpler. The dream Jackson points to isn't naive. It's about a tomorrow where we stop treating love as something to negotiate or ration, and instead let it be the lens through which we actually see each other. What makes this quote stick isn't the sentimentality. It's that loving "from the soul" means stripping away the protective layers we add—the smallness, the calculation, the self-protection. It suggests that most of what we think love is—the anxiety, the strategy, the doubt—might be something we've added on top of something clearer underneath. The radical part is believing that if enough of us did this, it wouldn't just feel better individually. It would change the actual texture of how we treat each other, how we move through the world together.
