    "There is a rainbow in the clouds"
    My son is disable and graduated from high school, during the ceremony it became cloudy and started raining. About 20 minutes into the ceremony, while the clouds were still in the sky pouring rain, two rainbows appeared, one above another. I'm sharing this because I raised my son never expecting him to do more than just exist. He has helped me understand true love and joy in its simplest form. ❤❤❤❤❤

    • @yeshonestly4268
      @yeshonestly4268 3 роки тому +6

      This means that there are clear signs about a person which show up in different ways eg: A person may himself/ herself say something not nice about him or herself, maybe as a joke ( believe them for they know themselves) or they REPEATEDLY do bad, strange awful things, know that seldom do ppl change for the better and chances are this behaviour will get worse with time and one day in the future cause harm and may even be disastrous. So believe them in the beginning🤔

      @le_th_ 4 роки тому +2

      *HEALTHY* self-love is important. There are degrees of self-love, and if you're too busy loving yourself too much it could morph into self-absorption, self-centeredness, selfishness and a tendency to not consider how your words and actions affect others.
      A healthy degree of self-love is very important, as is empathy for others, compassion, altruism, compassion and kindness.

Let's focus on that, instead of you trying to negate other people's opinions. No one has to explain themselves to you. Your approval is neither required nor desired. So why don't you troll elsewhere.
