To be sought after, to be loved, depends not on others but …
To be sought after, to be loved, depends not on others but on you. So do not complain that you are lonely or that no one loves you. If this is so, tell yourself that it is because you do not know how to bear fruit. Look at the trees: during winter they are dark, sombre, and no one spends time with them. But when they bear flowers and fruits, strollers, children, and lovers are often found among them. To be lonely is most often the consequence of a deplorable mentality. So many people decide never to produce fruits, because they have no desire to make efforts for others! But then they should not complain if they are left to themselves. As long as people remain without flowers, without fruits, and without fragrance, they will be poverty-stricken, both outwardly and inwardly. Why have they not worked to give something? When we give, we are never alone. We must all blossom and bear fruit; this is the best way to leave all our misery behind.
