This makes me happy

I can't remember where exactly but I saw this on a building in Italy. It's sad that whoever wrote this thought that the only way to get their message across was to ruin a beautiful building but I do like the message. I think too many people see the sad, depressing aspects of their lives and the world and not enough of the kindness, compassion and love that surrounds us. It also makes me think of Hugh Grant's monologue in Love Actually:

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion love actually is all around.

 Happy Friday!
