Every person in the world is remarkable.
The heroin addict who is trying to repress that which is causing them to experience negative thoughts, feelings and emotions.
The criminal who was unloved as a child and carries this deep, dark, unconscious fear that he’s innately unlovable.
The anorexic girl who always needs to be in control, doesn’t feel in control of her life, and controlling her eating is the only way she knows how to cope.
The bum on the street who is at such a loss that crack and begging for change (cracked out) is the only life he knows how to lead.
The generous, seemingly secure alcoholic who is so insecure with her emotions that the only way she knows how to express herself is after six drinks (in volatile form). She fears not being loved that much.
The executive who works 100+ hours each week, rarely sees his beautiful (and passive aggressive) wife, spends little quality time with his three delightful, impressionable and growing children, and thinks he is doing everything he can for his family.
Did you know…
“a person who experiences little real love from their parents may subconsciously insulate themselves from the memory of this with the fear that they cannot be loved, that they are simply innately unlovable. This is the deepest and darkest fear the human mind can carry and because it is so terrible, it will always be held subconsciously – away from our waking awareness. To escape from this terrifying subconscious fear, an individual will frequently attempt to prove to themselves and those around them that they are ‘bad’. For if they are ‘bad’ then this was the reason they did not receive love, not because they are unlovable. This is the true root of much criminal and delinquent behaviour.” (source)

Amen. (an exclamation expressing agreement with a statement…or in this case, a brief essay).

What a powerful statement. Prenatal and adolescence attention and love are directly responsible for our lack of love or fear we may have around love later in life.
There are many ways to express love, physically and mentally…both are important.
Thanks Kevin and Grace for your comments – they are always appreciated.
That was really sweet, thanks Amber
