We're Called to Hold Our Hands Against the Wounds of a Broken World...

there is a song that speaks of a boy who only wants to lie with his love under the stars and listen to her heartbeat, content knowing that they are together. How beautiful that such a sentiment has graced our ears. as i listened, i began to think of what a defecit of love there truly is in this world. of the relationships i've observed, mostly i can only see desperate, lonely people clinging to each other, trying to find a home in someone else, not truly being whole. we are no longer content with simply lying under the stars together, requiring formal titles and sex to feel loved, to feel wanted... and the world wonders why it fels so lonely. Why are there so many divorces?? people give their hearts and bodies away without thinking... they're spent and nothing is left for them to give. honestly, there is a rare few people that i've seen that are truly content and happy with their spouse, partly because no one is happy with themselves. no one can accept the fact that they cannot take credit for the way they look, they are not in control of their bone structure of the symmetry of their face. such things are gifts, and if self confidence will not allow those positive qualities to shine, you must ask yourself why.

what's so wrong with being happy?
