You
are all that you have that you can call your own. Everything else can
be taken away from you at any time. You arrived in this life as pure
awareness, and that's how you'll leave. Everything else you're going
to have to leave behind. Everything other than that “am-ness” is
temporary. Likewise, that awareness is all that you have that is
worth anything. Same goes for me, too.
So
if you think you are missing something, you know where to look –
inside your awareness. If we find ourselves looking to anyone else
to supply any of our needs, we're in for a mess of suffering. The
whole idea is for us to grow up and be complete and self-sufficient.
And until we can do that, we're worth zippo to anyone else except, of
course, another dependent. But that gets tiresome after a while.
No-one.....
no-one else can possibly love you enough, to make up for you not
loving yourself. No-on can, and they're not supposed to; that's
your job.
When
you truly accept and value your self you'll find you're loved by all
and sundry, except sometimes. And that's as good as it gets. Anyway, being adored by someone else is icing on the cake.
