I think aspiring to love everyone is one of the greatest aspirations you can have. It's not easy though, but I think it starts with not taking things personally. What others do has nothing to do with you, because even if they do something to hurt you, it's because of their own beliefs, opinions. It wasn't about you, it was about them.

The other biggest thing we have to realize is self forgiveness and the forgiveness of others. When we do something wrong, we need to forgive ourselves and move on, instead of holding it over our heads. We have to stop playing the judge and the victim. If we can learn to do this, we can find a lot of freedom in our lives.
