I want to love you - inspired by The Butler

The Butler.

After finish watching "The Butler", I had a sudden pressure on my chest that no words can describe.
While driving back home, I kept thinking of the whole movie,
every detail seems so unreal, every scene seems so unrealistic, but all is true.

I started to question myself, what is the true definition of "helping others and doing the right thing".
What is my calling in life to help others, which is my way? How do I do it?

Struck by reality, I realize I've been conform by my surroundings, I lost my true self.

When God says, "love your neighbour as yourself", I realize I did not do it 'appropriately'.
When I help, my motive isn't right.
Do I do it just because it is the right thing to do, or because I really love that person?

I started to question myself, why do I do things that I do?
And then I realize...

I don't like watching people suffer.
I love people.
I want everyone to be happy.
I want to help people.

but I was afraid,
afraid of losing my dignity,
in other words,
losing my pride.

But the humility of The Butler inspired me.

There is no way I can help a person with pride in me.
There is no way I can help a person if I don't love them.
There is no way I can love a person without forgiving their mistakes.
There is no way I can understand a person if I am not willing to open my heart, 
and be prepared to get hurt.

Loving people is tough, but it is worth it.

Their smile is priceless.
Their laughter is priceless.
Their tears are priceless.
They are priceless.

Each and every single person is priceless, one of a kind and special,
created by the Almighty God himself.

They are in this world not to suffer, but loved.

From this very day onwards, I understand why do I do what I do.
Because I want to love everyone of you.

How about you? Why are you in this world?

Everyone is different,
Maybe you just need to stop judging and be yourself
Because when you judge people,
you are actually judging yourself.

Admit your mistakes, Let go of your pride,
Be proud of who you are
especially your scars :)
