Not Enough Love in the World

Waiting for the world to change on its own is futile. Ringo recorded this soulful tune written by Joseph Williams and Steve Lukather. You can hear the influence of Lukather (of the group Toto) in the song. Released on Ringo's "Zoom In" EP, choosing a song that perfectly matched his lifelong message. Even at 80, he was still insisting that love is the answer, no matter how many times the world seems to prove otherwise.

Opening his heart repeatedly requires faith. There's something beautiful about Ringo's optimism, a refusal to let cynicism win. He's watched violence, greed, and hatred dominate headlines for decades. He lost his best friends. He battled personal demons. Yet he keeps showing up with the same message because he genuinely believes it matters. 

Repeating the importance of love is Ringo’s mantra. At times, our culture values novelty over substance, always demanding new messages, fresh approaches, different angles. But Ringo understands that some truths don't change: love matters, kindness counts, connection heals. Saying this for the thousandth time doesn't diminish its power; consistency amplifies it.

Lasting impact comes from consistent repetition. Martin Luther King gave many speeches about the same themes. Teachers repeat essential lessons to each new class. Good parents tell their children "I love you" every day. Ringo's lifetime of singing about peace and love demonstrates that important messages gain power through repetition.

Doing good and spreading love and peace is a message worth repeating. When someone who has seen everything still chooses hope, that's testimony worth noting. Some messages are worth repeating over and over again.

Today, I will repeat one important truth to someone who needs to hear it, understanding that consistency strengthens rather than weakens the message.

What essential truth have you stopped saying because you think people already know it? Who in your life needs to hear that truth again?
