I have come more and more to realize that it is
being unwanted that is the worst disease
that any human being can ever experience.
For all kinds of diseases there are medicines
and cures.
But for being unwanted, unless there are
willing hands to serve and
a loving heart to love,
I don't think this terrible disease can
ever be cured.
~Mother Teresa, quoted in
'Coming Home' by Deborah Duda.
