The risk of caring is scary for each of us. It takes courage. We would like the love we feel for another to be reciprocated. When someone does not return our love, it can cause us to feel rejected. Rejection hurts. If we have felt cared about by someone over a period of time and that person withdraws, or worse yet, dies, we experience the deepest kind of hurt. This grief can make us want to close ourselves off from caring again. Yet if we refuse to continue being vulnerable, we will lose so much more. A part of us will die.
May I understand that the only way I will continue to discover myself is by caring for another.
I will appreciate the value and care in my relationships today, for today is all we have anyway.
