Existence can be a lonesome ordeal. Each of us independently circling the periphery; searching for that singular moment of recognition; hoping for a sign of validation from another individual to justify our mere existence. It is because of this that we fall prey to flattery and false idolatry. It is because of this many relationships do not work out. Simply because instead of searching for those who complement us, we are fooled into thinking that we need someone who compliments us. Somewhere along the way, we deem ourselves incomplete until we have gained approval of those whom we humbly offered our life’s work and ourselves to their judgment.
Yet, consider how easy it is for a critic to critique. Recall how easy it is for us to raise our expectations of others and for them to therefore fall short. Then you will come to realize the dreaded disappointment that awaits us should we choose to enter a relationship with that need in mind. No, my dear friends do not enter a relationship in hopes of external validation. Trust, that before you become one with another, you can be whole in yourself. Know that you can be your own entity with lots to offer and a burning desire to share. Otherwise, you will only enslave yourself, sell yourself short, and settle for something less than the truth.
