Your deepest problem is no different from humankind’s most fundamental problem. You need to be loved, accepted, wanted, and to know that the world is different because you exist.

This problem has manifested itself in thousands of different ways in human history. Human persons, in longing to know that their presence makes a difference, strive to validate their existence in various ways.

Whilst you may think that your particular manifestation of the human problem is perhaps more excruciating than that of others, it might be more beneficial to see yourself as an incarnation of humanity’s most fundamental need.

Then you can also move on to be moulded into an incarnation of the solution to that need.
