“Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.”
- Mother Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu (August 26 1910 - September 5 1997)
All throughout life we see this over and over, yet little is done to correct these wrongs.
The saying “what they say is true” is correct. And yes, the most terrible poverty IS loneliness and the feeling of being unloved. I myself have felt and witnessed this many times before in my life.
But unlike the so many around us, I do reach out and try to help those around me as much and as often as possible.
This is what Mother Mary would’ve wanted..
Ever since I was a little boy, I’ve had an undying fascination with Mother Teresa. And I could never understand or explain why, when I was so little, why I loved this woman. I have learned so much from this Saint. She has taught me and guided me my whole life, without me even knowing. I never really knew why I was so in love and enamored by this little old woman that I only know from pictures. She to me is and always will be the closest thing to God that I have consistently had in my life, and I believe we have had as human beings.
I have never considered myself a super religious person. I keep my beliefs and religious side to myself, and I try not to push it onto others.
But I do believe. And I also believe that you can do and believe in whatever you choose as long as you are not doing harm to those around you.
But to those that say and believe that God does not exist, take a minute and read what Mother Teresa spoke and lived. She is a living and loving example of His word.
I’ve always believed that in order to have and find peace, you must first begin by fixing and loving yourself. This concept should be applied to the world we live in today. We have to start loving ourselves and one another, and stop hating each other.
“How can this be done” you ask?
Do this first: LOVE YOURSELF.
And if you say, “I can’t love myself”.
Remind yourself, Mother Teresa did.
