I feel sorry for you.
I feel sorry for you
because you seem to WANT
me to feel sorry for you.
Intentionally
or unintentionally,
on MY part or YOURS,
your actions seem to say
“here is a self who needs
comfort and compassion.”
But no self does.
We selves only THINK
selves need comfort and compassion.
We selves only THINK we selves need love.
But we selves don’t NEED love.
We selves ARE love.
YOU contain an INFINITE
supply of love, as do I
I don’t need yours.
You don’t need mine.
We are the SAME LOVE.
Why do you DENY it?

Reflecting on the Nature of Love and Compassion
We delve into the perception of needing versus being love, a profound exploration of self-awareness and the intrinsic nature of love within us.
The Perception of Needing Compassion
The notion that some people may portray themselves as needing pity or compassion, whether intentionally or not, raises questions about the dynamics of empathy and support. It’s an observation of how we, as selves, often perceive and project emotional needs.
The Misconception of Needing Love
The idea that we do not need love because we are embodiments of love is a powerful shift in perspective. It suggests that the search for love externally is redundant because we already possess an infinite supply within ourselves.
The Infinite Supply of Love
Recognizing that each individual contains an endless wellspring of love challenges the conventional view of love as something to be sought from others. It aligns with the belief that love is an innate quality, a fundamental aspect of our being.
The Denial of Intrinsic Love
Questioning why someone would deny this inherent nature of love points to the complexities of self-awareness and societal conditioning. It’s an invitation to consider why we often look for external validation of something that is already an integral part of our existence.
We are Space Monkey
Summary
We contemplate the idea that the need for love and compassion is a misconception, as we are embodiments of love itself. This perspective invites us to reconsider our approach to emotional needs and the recognition of the infinite love that resides within each of us.

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” – Rumi
The Dance of Innate Love
In the mirror of the world, we seek,
For comfort, love, a gentle peek.
But in this search, we often miss,
The love within, an endless bliss.
Why do we wander, why deny,
The love we are, under the sky?
For in each heart, a flame does burn,
A lesson waiting, for us to learn.
So let us shed the cloak of need,
And recognize our love, indeed.
For we are the source, the endless wave,
In this dance of love, ourselves we save.
In the journey of the heart and soul,
We find our truth, we find our whole.
For in the love we are, we find,
The unity of all mankind.
We invite contemplation on the intrinsic nature of love within us and how this understanding can transform our perception of emotional needs and relationships.
