Human beings must be known to be loved; but Divine beings must be loved to be known. – Blaise Pascal
To be loved is the greatest of all gifts. To be chosen. Pursued. Valued. Cherished.
As with all things precious and invaluable, however, counterfeits arise, and with them a culture that has left us on a loveless spectrum somewhere between disoriented and despondent. We have become blind to true love, which embraces who we are, and instead joined the garish system of parading ourselves in costume in front of the masses in hopes of winning first prize.
First prize, and even the lowest of consolation prizes, is nothing more than two costumes stitched together. When either one grows weary of the wardrobe, the source of union is lost. The love that never was is gone.
True love wears no costume and expects none on you. The source of union in true love is the soul, and it knows no separation. .
There is an alternative to awaking every day to don your costumes of body image, career prestige, Instagram influence, and whatever else hangs in the closet – designed to conceal the real you in hopes of what at most will be an imitation extract of love.
You don’t have to live this way. You don’t have to lure love.
There is a way to beat the system.
