Quote preview background for C. JoyBell C.
We all have thorns in our flesh. All of us. Love is when we stay and help someone pluck out their thorns one-by-one and they do the same for us. Love is also when we pluck the thorns out of our own flesh, one-by-one. But today, the world teaches us that we shouldn__ even see those thorns, that we should only see the petals. As a result, we don__ know how to love ourselves and we don__ know how to love others. Stay with the darkness, and bring that darkness into the light. It__ there, look at it.
