"We have been created with a need to love and be loved, or all else in life becomes meaningless. For most of us, people to love have been generously supplied: parents, children, grandparents, brothers, sisters, neighbors. If the people available don't seem particularly lovable or they don't seem to love us as we think they should, that is our problem, our challenge. To paraphrase Jesus, "What virtue is it to love people who are lovable? Anyone can do that." To love the people with whom we come in contact, those often selfish, egotistical, aggravating people who fill our world, to love them wisely and well, seeing them always as created by God, imbued with his Spirit--"Ah, there's the rub"--but there is also beauty. We may one day find that they have grown to have all those qualities of lovingness, courage, and kindness that we saw in them when they couldn't see these qualities in themselves." -Lynn Sutton

john rose

thanks a bunch for these beautiful quotes

i'm gonna take my sweet time really reading them

beautiful!!

do you think self love alone can transform a person from a dusty coal into a brilliant diamond ?

i don't mean self love in an arrogant way

i mean self love in the irresistible way
like being in love with yourself.... is like appreciating every thing about yourself and then this naturally extending to others and the world

something like that

i like meditating on the original quote from that guy

of being in love with oneself ... makes one have an intimate understanding of everyone else and the world

what DOES it mean to "be in love with oneself"

just curious what this means to everybuddy

cuz i love the idea... and i think it is the key to world peace and the transformation of the entire universe

it is the sacred and forgotten link
