How do you know those who love you?

There are many ways, but let me dwell on one.

They flip the part of you that would typically irritate others into a joke that is so without malice, yet so funny, that it cracks you up.

They get you to see a caricature of yourself not with the scorn that resists change, but with laughter that embraces change.

Scorn locks us in the closet and shields our bad habits from the needed light.
Laughter cracks us open to let the bad habits get sterilized by the light.

Children who love you are great at this.
Colleagues who love you will extend the same courtesy.
A significant other who loves you perfectly times it for effect.

Search your circle and you will find those who love you.
