A Quote by Mother Teresa on disease, experience, feeling, greed, hunger, loneliness, suffering, and world

There is much suffering in the world - physical, material, mental. The suffering of some can be blamed on the greed of others. The material and physical suffering is suffering from hunger, from homelessness, from all kinds of diseases. But the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, having no one. I have come more and more to realize that it is being unwanted that is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.

Wow. That’s so true. I used to feel that… lonely, unloved, unwanted… or put it this way: I didn’t love myself or my life, didn’t want my life, yet I was stranded in my own inescapable existence. Even the hungry, even the homeless, even the diseased and so on can love themselves and want their lives and so on.
