“I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is ending up with people who make you feel all alone.” Robin Williams as Lance Clayton in World’s Greatest Dad

It is commonly understood, if not experienced, that one can be in a crowd of people and still feel utterly alone. If we are not careful we can find ourselves trapped inside a web of self-centered thinking, feeling sorry for ourselves. There are many graces that can free us from this web of “woe is me.” And, like most graces, we must choose to appropriate them. Genuine gratitude can melt the web of self pity. So too can love. The grace of love can change our focus completely. By freeing others we can free ourselves. The actions of love are the cure for most of what ails our world.
