Did you know that the aloha spirit is written into Hawai‘i law? Hawai‘i Revised Statutes 5-7.5 says, “‘Aloha Spirit’ is the coordination of mind and heart within each person. It brings each person to the self. Each person must think and emote good feelings to others.”
The aloha spirit is more than legal jargon—it is a way of life and state of mind for the people, places and things that surround us. It is an appreciation for the beauty of all living things and a way to live in harmony with our surroundings.
Yet stressors like the high cost of living, the lack of affordable housing, traffic and “fill-in-the-blanks” may make it difficult for people to embody the aloha spirit.
What do you think? We bring the community together in our next Kākou: Hawai‘i’s Town Hall to discuss the state of aloha. You can join the discussion by phone, email or social media.
