Reassurance.
People need this a lot. People want to know that they are safe,protected and well. And that their loved ones are too.
Daily exposure to "news", bad attitudes and gossip means that fear and uncertainty are spread like the common cold.
But really,all anyone wants is to love and be loved,and to be in charge of themselves. And to be reassured that all is well in the world.
Oprah Winfrey knows this when she wisely asks the question: "What do you know for sure?"
And to quote Hildegard of Bingen:
"All is well,all shall be well,all manner of things shall be well."
Now that's reassuring.
