Princess Dianna was quoted as saying

I'm not a political animal but I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved, and I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give—I'm very happy to do that, and I want to do that.

When i think about the people who are supporting the worst monstrosities in our nation and our world, because they are hurting, and turning that hurt outwards to every possible person they can victimize, I always wonder what they would be like if they had been shown love during the integral moments of their lives.

How would they look at themselves, their lives and their place in the world? Would they still be hurting? Would they still be lashing out? Would they still be as accepting of these atrocities?

I do believe that feeling the warm security of love and kindness changes a person. It makes them see things from a perspective that isn't looking up from a deep hole that doesn't provide light and the ability to thrive.

And that whole cycle of thoughts makes me sad. Sad knowing these people who are so hateful, angry and destructive, probably never got the love and kindness they needed. They never got that caring support people need to grow and be balanced people.

It makes me even sadder to know, many of them struggled emotionally due to parents and family members who not only didn’t care, but caused pain and lack of stability, had no one they could trust to reach out to when they needed comfort, forcing them even deeper into themselves and their pain. That some people have no idea what it feels like to feel any kind of warmth and only feel cold bitterness, emotional hardship and the coldness of feeling completely alone.

Because while there are many factors in how we have gotten where we are, the lack of love, care and compassion that has nothing to do with sexual intimacy has been so removed from so many people, it has created a situation where people are hurting in silence and have no coping mechanisms or outlets, other than to lash out, hate and rage about things they feel have been taken from them.

Sadly, that behavior makes them even more unable to find love and care, and it becomes a vicious cycle of pain, loneliness and hurt, anger, hate and rage. And they receive confirmation constantly that says they don't deserve the love they need, thus making them feel they are right to be where they are emotionally.

I wish we had a world where we could provide a space where these extremely hurt people can learn a different way of existence. I wish we didn't instantly isolate them, but if we don't, we become suseptible to negative abuses we don't want to be subjected to.

I don't have any answers on how to resolve this. I don't have solutions. I wish I did, but I don't. I also know that until these people realize that while they aren't entitled to love and care, they do need it and to get it, they need to do the internal work to become people who people want to love. It isn't about being worthy of love. We all are born worthy of love. It is being a person people want to love. And that is something I can't do.
