Conluding Thought:
Actions speak louder than words, and love is transmitted more than taught. A more mature science of nurturance of love and care in children and adolescence will result in a more caring adult society, and more meaningful - and even healthier and longer - lives. A key question is how we can create mature adults who exemplify love for a common humanity in deed and word. At a secondary level, the nondualistic approach taken here suggests that we give greater attention to the health outcomes in the agents of love with respect to self-report, objective measures, and longevity. Following the lead of Sorokin, the role of perceptions of divine love in encouraging and sustaining generosity throughout the life span is also a fit area for scientific investigation.
