We Are All Equally Worthy of Love from One Another; No One Has Any Less or More Right to Be Who They Are (5 Minutes)

I am no better than anyone else and no one else is any better than me.  We are brothers and sisters on this planet striving to survive and find happiness.  Happiness is best found in loving collaboration.  Being kind and compassionate towards one another.  The acts kindness and compassion bring happiness to the giver and the receiver, and can bestow upon the receiver a knowing that being kind and compassionate brings one happiness.  The words basically come from the Dalai Lama, but they echo a sentiment I concluded some years ago.  To be happy, one must love another, must want the happiness of another.  Love is a paradox.  To find happiness from love, you must put the happiness of another above your own, willing to sacrifice happiness for the happiness of others.  Ah, maybe it is the dichotomy of pleasure vs. happiness.  Giving up pleasure for the happiness of another will make your own happiness stronger.
