GREATEST LOVE OF ALL. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. I LOOK TO YOU.
What great songs, sung by an amazing talent who was silenced today.
WHITNEY HOUSTON DEAD!!! 48 YEARS OLD. WAY TO YOUNG.
Her story prematurely has ended.
I got chills as the news broke reporting her death. It is a very sad and tragic end to an incredible talent who was HUMAN and plagued by demons.
Maybe the song should have been titled "I Will Always Love Me"
I have said in earlier writings, self-love is the hardest love to achieve, but by far the most valuable love to acquire.
Without the love of self we wander this world in search of other people and things to fill in the emptiness that we have in our lives.
I look at Whitney Houston who was probably one of the greatest singers ever, and definately for my generation. WHAT A GIFT.
Still she like all of us, is human, and was trying to make her way through this life the best way she was able to. Life's journey is not an easy one. The journey is filled with obstacles along the way.
We look at CELEBRITY, such as WHITNEY HOUSTON, who we as common folks admire and look up to. We think how lucky they are to be who they are, and to be where they are in life.
We also say, well if they have issues and problems in their lives, they at least have the financial ability to take care of themselves. Having money and being a celebrity does not mean that you will live a life without struggle. It is usually the opposite. I think celebrity brings more struggle into ones life. You are living your life in the public eye. People tend to forget that we are all human. We all at the end of the day have the same needs.
When the news broke everyone took to the social networks to express their sadness and grief.
I must say that most people were very respectful, that a daughter lost her mother and a mother lost her daughter.
Yes it was public knowledged that Whitney has been plagued with a drug addiction and other issues. I was very happy to see that most people were remembering the amazing talent and gift that was lost. Of course there were and always will be those that are completely ignorant. They try and make themselves feel better by making fun of others misfortune.
I feel very sad for these people.
Anyway while we are moving through life we need to "LEARN TO LOVE OURSELVES, IT IS THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL"
