You
You have two exquisite virtues. You are able to love genuinely and selflessly. You have unfaltering awe and affirmation towards the complexities and becoming facets of others.
You and Them
The universal insatiable need is this: to be known, understood, accepted and loved without condition. It is a plaguing void that unites and identifies us all as human.
You
Your steadfast assurance and introspective awareness is irresistible. Drawing all walks towards you. You always receive them. You cannot help yourself. You empathize in their humanness.
You recognize you will fail them, that they will fail you and they will fail each other.
You choose to be chewed up and spit out.
Them
Cynicism is prevention. Claim yourself a realist and notice your impenetrability. Embrace relativism to cast aside disappointment.
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.” - C.S. Lewis
