I agree. "Lasting happiness starts within."
I believe it starts with loving one's self and after that learning to love ALL. I think we need to try to do what we can to show and spread our love for others, so those who maybe don't love themselves, will. And from that they might love. And so on that note, all my love to you and all of yours. And may our creator bless yous all.
We try too hard sometimes for social acceptance that we walk through a tunnel and have to live a lie to maintain our status.
