Vulnerability

vulnerable |ˈvəln(ə)rəbəl|
adjective
"susceptible to physical or emotional attack or harm".

It hurts to be vulnerable, but only my ego.

I also know that authentic love is not possible unless I am vulnerable.

That is fucking scary (pardon my french).

It is so much easier to be jaded and angry, and have huge walls that drive everyone away. But when it comes down to pros and cons I would rather have attempted to love and have been scorned (by friends, family, lovers etc.) than to wallow away in bitterness until the day I die.

Yes our world would be a better place if everyone could do this. Risk to love, risk ourselves and our ego, put aside our bitterness and anger.

It was Ghandi who said "be the change you wish to see in the world".
Therefore it starts with me.
