“I love everybody, that’s what’s killing me.” Cloris Leachman was outstanding in the movie Spanglish, and this is one of my favorite lines. I’ve written about this line and loving everyone from a Buddhist perspective before, and if you’ve ever loved two people and seen them fighting with each other, or loved two people and had to disappoint one person because of something related to the other person, that’s what this reminds me of.
In 2024, it also reminds me of war, and what a waste of life it is when people who are in charge ruthlessly kill other people.
