"Why don't people appreciate my contributions? Why don't they include me in their invitations? Why don't I get promoted? Why don't people love me?" You may have heard one of these questions from a friend or asked one yourself.
People should love us because it is man's nature to love. It is God's nature to love, for God is Love. God made man in His own image, in the image of divine Love. Man reflects Love through expressing love; he is the idea of Love.
As we discover that it is man's nature to love, the question "Why doesn't he or she love me?" may become even more imperative. But to answer the question we can't rely on what we observe or hear from others. If we do, we may fault another person for not loving us or fault ourselves for not deserving love. Actually, the fault lies with the material senses and their absorption in a false sense of man. This false conception identifies man as a mortal who is both spiritual and material, good and bad, kind and cruel, loving and unloving. The material senses don't see or feel divine Love or man as Love's expression, and so they cry, "Why don't people love me?"
