Nobody Loves Me

Mary was having a tough day and had stretched herself out on the couch to do a bit of what she thought to be well-deserved complaining and self-pitying.

She moaned to her mom and brother:

- Nobody loves me ... the whole world hates me!

Her brother, busily occupied playing a game, hardly looked up at her and passed on this encouraging word:

- That's not true, Mary. Some people don't even know you.
