The Buddha said you can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. The Dalai Lama said we can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection. But according to Aristotle most people would rather give than get affection. This Valentine’s Day week honor your own need for affection.
