Hi:-)

It is easy to say:
-Be positive...
-Love yourself in order others to love you...
-Be optimistic...
If there is no response, if you get nothing in return, how to find strength to love...everybody needs somebody to reflect his love...to receive some after giving some...and lately I feel the whole humanity is getting selfish and self destructive...and I am loosing hope...or shouldn't I

Deepblu,

Moved to respond. I too feel discouraged when I see some events in society.  But then there are the little things. Like someone letting another car merge in.  Someone giving change to the person missing a few cents.  People giving a stranger a jump when their car is broke down.  Little things everyday that make me feel like there is hope.  These were just examples of how others have helped me.  I pay the favors forward. Like a little ripple in the water what seems so small grows great big. Once where I served they had people paying for other people's meal, went to 40 tickets payed. Until someone stopped paying for the other.  Neat stuff like this happens all the time. We just don't see it in the news.  So many good people out there.  There need be no responce to giving love.  It is then love without strings, uncoditional, unending. To me the most powerful kind of love.  There are people who have just smiled at me and just made my day! Didn't cost a cent, but made me feel oh so wonderful! As to needing a reflection to his or her love, I practice in the mirror. LOL. I tell myself all the time what I like about me, and how much I love me. This helps when the world out there doesn't give us the encouragment or words of kindness. We still hear them, and follow it with a hug. Silly I know but it works for me.

Safe Journey

lack of reciprocation causes pain. but one who is positive should not lose hope. lessen your expectations. or, wait till you get what you want. your unreciprocated feelings cannot prove human beings to be selfish. see why you are not responded to. isn't it that you are wrong in your ways of dealings with others?

We can only be the light of the world, and love.  It shouldn't be our concern that others do not show love/ reciprocate love/ return love...all we can worry about in the moment, is how WE love...Love ourselves, show that love, and believe in that love..expecting nothing in return.  If others do not 'show' or return love, let it go.  They are doing the best they can.  Let go of the judgment about how they express it.  Worry about only how you express yourself as love.

Life has never been so easy for anybody my dear.... Here is the hug...
