an aphorism(?)

more than ten years ago, i had an insight into the human condition and wrote down the following words trying to explain it.

"Everybody in the world

Is a little boy or a little girl
Saying, 'Look at me,

Love me'."

after all these years my view hasn't changed.

i'll check back after ten more years (if i'm still around). if it still holds good, perhaps i'll call it an aphorism.
