Why do people like to say "You are loved"?
Do you love me? Then say so. If not, who are you speaking for, on what authority?
What does it accomplish? Does it make the speaker feel warm & fuzzy? Does anyone truly take comfort in it?
It's always struck me as an oddly performative utterance & vaguely cultish.
I assure you that there are people who absolutely are not loved and do not receive love, regardless of how much they may deserve it.
Love, much like the future, is not evenly distributed.
