\"\"People need love like plants\u00a0need\u00a0sunshine and water.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/h5>\n
Musings on\u00a0the nature of love\u00a0and why\u00a0there is so little\u00a0to go around\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n

by Henry Makow PhD<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Correct me if I am wrong, <\/strong>but it seems that a lot of people are starved for love. Toss us a scrap and we blossom.<\/h5>\n
Salespeople are the only ones who are cordial and smile. They’re paid to be friendly. “How’s your day going?”<\/em><\/h5>\n
People need love like plants need\u00a0sunshine and water.\u00a0\u00a0But how many are getting enough?<\/h5>\n
Are people deserving\u00a0of love?\u00a0I find it a struggle to love other people. (Just being human requires effort.)<\/h5>\n
Imagine if our attitude to strangers was, “I love you, brother and sister”<\/h5>\n
… instead of “get off my lawn.”<\/h5>\n
Jesus loved the lepers, so we should be able to love our fellow man. If people were perfect, love would be easy.<\/h5>\n
That was his teaching. Love your neighbour as yourself.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/h5>\n
\"\"Is that where the problem lies? We don’t love ourselves.<\/h5>\n
Love yourself\/ Be your own best friend<\/em>\u00a0has become a cliche but there’s something to it.\u00a0 A\u00a0starving person cannot be expected to feed others. Why don’t we love ourselves?<\/h5>\n
Because we don’t respect ourselves. If we did, we wouldn’t need outside affirmation.<\/h5>\n
How do we earn our\u00a0own Self-respect?<\/h5>\n
By serving our\u00a0Master, God who speaks to us through our soul.<\/h5>\n
