I used to believe in me,
But that was before I could see.
That it didn’t matter,
Unless you also believed, in me.

Listen to Hawk Nelson—Live Like You’re Loved song
“To love without knowing how to love, wounds the person we love. To know how to love someone, we have to understand them. To understand, we need to listen…Understanding someone’s suffering is the best gift you can give another person. Understanding is love’s other name. If you don’t understand, you can’t love!”
Spanish Translation
“Lastimas a la persona que amas, si no sabes cómo hacerlo bien. Para saber amar a alguien, tienes que entenderlo. Para entender, necesitas escuchar…Comprender el sufrimiento de alguien es el mejor regalo que le puedes dar. El otro nombre de ‘amor’ es ‘la comprensión’. ¿Si no lo entiendes, como lo puedes amar?”
Quotes by: Thích Nhất Hạnh—Legendary Vietnamese Zen Buddhist Monk,Teacher, and Peace Activist (Translated by: ElRoy, 2020)
