I was thinking about me as a younger man. There is no way in hell I would have told people I had never met i Loved Them.
It would have been inconceivable to me that i could love a perfect stranger. It made me start thinking about what changed., why was I no longer embarrassed. Why suddenly did it even seem important. I realized that part of it was those who i have watched leave. The sadness and pain i feel inside, knowing these people are gone forever. Perhaps feeling guilty that I never got the chance to tell them, i Love You.
Sometimes I think about our "enemies" in life. the song comes to mind....i hope The Russians love their children to. i think about the commonalities we all have as people. The only real difference a language or skin tone. I watch the heroes go by as well as the demons. I think to myself if only we could treat everyone with just a bit of love everything would be ok. So I started telling people i love them. Some are surprised or shocked. But i know inside they are going "WoW How Nice" . It might never heal things in general. But i am sure that on occasion it helps one person feel better about themselves. In AA they teach one day at a time.
I thought Yea
one person at a time. if your reading this.... i Love You pass it on.-Gary
