"Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.” – Lao-Tzu

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I need to stop expecting them to give me reasons to love them.

 

 

yes, we all do.

 

it's not anyone's job to give us reasons to love them.

 

if it was, there would be no need for god to tell us to love each other.

 

we just would.

 

it starts with us.

 

or it doesn't.

 

the love can't be conditional. or it's not the kind of love god means.

 

love thy neighbor as thyself.

 

not love thy neighbor if he pleases you.

 

if he gives you reasons to.

 

love him if he hates you. love him if he is the scum of the earth.

 

love him if he's a genocidal maniac.

 

hardest thing in the world to do.

 

gonna take a million million lifetimes to learn how.

 

you can try every minute of every day and you may not manage it.

 

i dont think i ever will.

 

most of the time, i dont really even want to try.

Sometimes, but I wasn't talking about myself. I'm really bad at ignoring anything.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

Gotta love it.

 

 

yes. that's it exactly.

 

gotta love it.

 

but can't.

[mmeeshal]

I try, but even when I pretend to ignore things...they still cut me.
