Like And Love

 I don’t have to like someone in order to love them, or act lovingly toward them.  Some people are unlikeable because they are lonely or overcome with shortcomings.  This does not make them terrible people or bad people.  It just makes them unattractive.  I might tend to leave them be in their misery and negativity.  But I want to become a better person and so I try to act lovingly toward them.  How?  Pay them some attention.  Ask them how they are doing at the moment and then be patient and listen.  Give them time, my oh so precious time that I used to use up in crazy stuff.
