my friends, how desperately do we need to be loved and to love. when christ said that man does not live by bread alone, he spoke of a hunger. this hunger was not the hunger of the body. it was not the hunger for bread. he spoke of a hunger that begins deep down in the very depths of our being. he spoke of a need as vital as breath. he spoke of our hunger for love.
love is something you and i must have. we must have it because our spirit feeds upon it. we must have it because without it we become weak and faint. without love our self-esteem weakens. without it our courage fails. without love we can no longer look out confidently at the world. we turn inward and begin to feed upon our own personalities, and little by little we destroy ourselves.
with it we are creative. with it we march tirelessly. with it, and with it alone, we are able to sacrifice for others. - chief dan george

oh , the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thought nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away. - Shoshone You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or interesting stories for the world to read and respond to Click hereScroll all the way down to read replies.Show all stories by Author: 25828 ( Click here )
