Quote by Buckminster Fuller

Truth is cosmically total: synergetic. Verities are generalized principles stated in semimetaphorical terms. Verities are differentiable. But love is omniembracing, omnicoherent, and omni-inclusive, with no exceptions. Love, like synergetics, is nondifferentiable, i.e., is integral.

Truth is cosmically total: synergetic. Verities are generali

Summary

This quote highlights the difference between truth and love. Truth, characterized as verities, consists of generalized principles that can be differentiated and categorized using semimetaphorical terms. On the other hand, love possesses unique qualities. Love is all-encompassing, harmonious, and inclusive, without any exceptions. Similar to the nature of synergetics, love cannot be easily differentiated or broken down into separate parts but is instead integral and whole. This quote emphasizes the profound and limitless nature of love, contrasting it with the more specific and differentiated nature of truth.

There are times, like after a long day of work, when the thought of an easy drive-through is enticing. But then I remember how crappy I felt when I ate fast food in the past, and it inspires me to head to the grocery store or my local farmer's market and whip up an easy but healthier option.
