Alright, here's me being mushy.
There's this really great book called Old Turtle and the Broken Truth. So, some animals find a shiny piece of Truth that says, "You are loved," but they dismiss it because it is only half of a Truth. The humans, however, go, "WOOOOOOWWW..." and they love and treasure that piece of Truth, and fight over who gets to possess it, eventually causing a bunch of wars for generations and stuff. So then, eventually, they find the other half of the truth, "and so are They." Some humans get really ticked off and reject the notion right off, but eventually they all pretty much just have to accept it, and all the humans now have the whole Truth, and world peace happens, basically.
"You are loved / and so are They."
See, I think for, well, a lot of us, this story would be in reverse.
The first half of this Truth we picked up was, "They are loved" and the part we have struggled to discover or some of us are still struggling to discover, is so are we. "and so are You."
Yes, it is true that other people are loved. Even though I totally don't know you personally, I can be fairly certain that you are loved, too. I am really confident in that. If you're doubting what I'm saying right now, then you're one of the ones who needs to remind discover this still.
YOU ARE LOVED. Look at all the love you can get even from complete strangers on these boards. Chances are that you have someone in real life who loves you to a much greater extent than that. Ha.
YOU ARE LOVED, and don't forget that, you!
