Funny holidays - Global Love Day
Celebrated on 1 MayIn philosophy, comprehensive love for all living things is contrasted with deep attachment to a partner, religion, power, art and other phenomena.
This approach does not contribute to the development of morality and morality in society. Participants in the movement, which calls people to harmony and the manifestation of sincere feelings for all humanity, decided to fight the current state of affairs. That's why Global Love Day is celebrated on May 1st every year.
The Global Love Day holiday appeared in 2004 in the USA and Canada on the initiative of city mayors, state and provincial governors, and other officials. In 2022, more than 830 statements were made by government officials in America and Europe to recognize the celebration as an international holiday. Its founders are the Harold W. Becker Love Foundation and the Global Harmony Alliance. According to the organizers of the events held on May 1, the holiday should inspire people to internal changes, show warmth and care for others. Every person should find a place in his heart for love for his neighbor, which will contribute to living in a safe and harmonious world without conflicts and wars.
In honor of the holiday, which later became international, thematic lectures, exhibitions and competitions among poets, writers and artists are held. The main condition for participation is that all work must be dedicated to love. Winners receive awards from Harold Becker's The Love Foundation. In 2019, the Dalai Lama called for the celebration of Global Love Day for followers of Buddhism. In honor of the holiday, meetings are held between people who stand for the unity of humanity, despite the racial, cultural, religious and national affiliation of its representatives.
F.M. Dostoevsky said: “The world is saved by beauty.” The great writer and humanist did not mean external attractiveness, but the positive moral qualities of a person, the wealth and generosity of his soul. The founders of the holiday post on their platforms information translated into 37 languages about charity events in which everyone can take part, and photographs of people doing good. Volunteers work on May 1 under the motto “Love begins with me.”
Global Love Day is an excellent occasion to remind your loved ones, verbally or in writing, how dear they are to you. Videos and photographs of participants in charity events dedicated to the holiday are published on the Internet. Postcards and voice congratulations on the Day of Global Love are posted on social networks. In honor of the celebration, they forget about quarrels and ask those around them for forgiveness for the insults they have caused. Such behavior of millions of people, according to the founders, can change the world for the better, filling it with harmony, peace and love.
