Love and fear

People don’t like to be messed with. They don’t like to be hurt. They don’t like to be embarrassed. There are many things people do not enjoy. But there are many things they do enjoy. People want to be loved. Love is not a mushy gushy thing only for the young; no, it is something much more than that. It is a deep desire in all of us, to be accepted, and to be loved.  We often do not understand the world around us. That is why we fear it because there are only two ultimate emotions in the world, love and fear. We want love, but fear being hurt. We want to be ourselves, but we fear being misunderstood. We often judge other people because we think they are judging us. But this is where we are wrong. By them judging us they are just judging a mirror image of themselves. The faults we look for in other people are the faults in ourselves. The hardest critic is yourself.  You are not judging other people you are judging you. We cannot even begin to understand the human condition. People think that people are cruel and self-centered and in most cases we tend to lean that way but this is where the world makes a mistake. People are really kind because when they find love, they are happy and when they are happy they will make others happy. There will be people who judge you. There will always be people judging you. But remember, they are just judging themselves.  The only thing that hinders love is fear.
