A Secret

I’m going to tell you a secret. 🙂

Once upon a time, there was a little person.

This little person had an endless supply of love for every other person in the world, no matter who they were, what they looked like, the clothes they wore, how they talked, or anything else.

But everybody else in the world did not have an endless supply of love for this little person. Sometimes they were indifferent, offended, mean, or just apathetic. Once upon a time they, too, had had an endless supply of love for everybody, but others had been indifferent, offended, mean, or just plain apathetic. And eventually they became just like the people who had rejected their love.

And so this, of course, eventually happened to the little person. The little person found ways to hide their love, to express it only where others couldn’t see it, or to mask it behind indifference, offense, cruelty, or just plain apathy.

But one day, the little person found a way to express their endless love in a way that nobody could touch, that was invincible and immortal.

And once again, the little person remembered what it meant to be human.
