Interesting meditation today...

Do you see yourself as deserving of the loyalty of others?

I believe people have the right to do as they please. I would never obligate a person towards me in a demand for loyalty. Such a demand would be against my principles.

As to answer your question, no. I don't feel deserving of anything. I don't think I am entitled to anything especially loyalty. I feel I am entitled to only what is within my own power and that means only me... because I refuse to control others. I will not enslave another, I will not entitle myself to another.

I will go as far as to say that nobody is obligated to feed me, give me water or shelter me even if they saw me dying on the side of the street.

I honestly believe I deserve nothing.

Heh, this sounds a bit extreme but I won't redact it. This is my honest answer. Feel free to tell me why this perspective is flawed.

Oh that's a pregnant message.

Let's externalize it. Picture a 5 year old child in front of you. Do you think that child deserves to have loving friends? How about water and food? Do you think they deserve shelter, and perhaps a family to love and take care of them? Do you think the child deserves happiness?

Most people will answer yes; it's obvious, the child is innocent and beautiful, they deserve everything, especially happiness and love.

So now, why not an adult? At what point does the child becomes too old and stops deserving to be loved and happy? Is there a threshold that one crosses and they become unworthy?


Truth is, we are children, we are innocent, and we are all facets of God. We are worthy of everything in existence, because we are everything.

Happy thinking
