Although hate can be a motivator, love is a much better motivator than hate. Some people, for example, may be motivated by the obstacle of being told that they can't do something. Women's suffrage and other equal rights movements are based on this premise. However, if you've ever been motivated in this way, you also know that the hate, although it drives you, leaves you torn and battered at the end of a long journey. Love on the other hand can motivate a single woman to get an education for the sake of bettering her children's future. It can motivate a physically challenged person to show the world the potential and determination of humanity to overcome obstacles. It can lead a family in persecution to freedom despite the hate of oppressors. And in the end it leaves those whom it has motivated with inspiration and happiness beyond belief. Love is, after all the very thing that has motivated all of the great leaders of our times and past. Martin Luther, Mohamad, and Christ himself. Yes, love is the greatest motivator of all!
