For, as long as we are deliberating ideas, intentions, and thoughts in our head, that is as far as they ever go. These acts-our actions-are the ultimate measure of our feelings. Are we filling ourselves up with self-hate? What are we filling ourselves up with every day? Is it because we are holding onto pain? What are we choosing to hold onto and what are we choosing to let go of? Is it because we are burying our problems under everything we can get our hands on? Is that why we are so addicted to TV, media, drugs, fame, video games, alcohol, sex? Are we in control of what we’re allowing in? Or are we out of control? We act outwardly how we feel inwardly-there is no other way to act. Why are we cruel to each other? Cruelty never comes from a place of love. This is not a statement of fact, but rather an observation as to our state. We say things we don’t mean to say and do things we don’t mean to do because we’re in pain and pain is what comes out when we draw from what’s inside sometimes. We try to love, but we don’t know how to quiet the hate. But, we try to move away the mask and as soon as even one person smirks, we rush back to hiding.

It’s a lot of work-trying to be more than one person. Maybe the masks will allow us to be somebody that other people will like better.

We’re hiding who we have the potential to be deep within because we’re scared of what others might think if we come out. We don’t even know why we act the way we act sometimes. Many of us don’t even know who we really are. Sometimes, we even tear others down so we can appear bigger.

We put up walls, bury our emotions, and make sure we only do things that are easy so we don’t mess up or expose any weaknesses. Many of us don’t want to admit that we’re flawed and imperfect so we carry on leading inauthentic lives. Love is not cruel.Įach of us is flawed and imperfect and is doing the best we can with what we’ve been given. Love is the understructure that provides the foundation for all that is kind, just, and joyous. To blame love for being cruel is to blame your entire body when just one cell is at fault. Love is what connects us to infinite warmth, gratitude, and grace. Love is forever flowing and ever present throughout all that is. To all those who suffer from heartbreak, don’t blame love.
