One of my biggest hang-ups in life, and I'm old enough that wisdom and experience should carry me through it. Hasn't happened yet.
Lots of platitudes address it, but platitudes are only true when viewed from the other side of things, not within the thick of it.
eh, even on the other side they're still just platitudes. they become common sayings because people mean them a lot.
I've had several deep experiences in which platitudes held transformative meaning, but I think you're right.
I think they are symbolic placeholders for something experiential, and holding onto what gives them meaning is like trying to grasp the wind as it blows.
Their mind should have changed. They should feel like they are worthy of love.
People who don't feel like they are worthy of love are still worthy of love.

This is how genies usually work in most stories, they grant your wish based on the wording, and always interpret it in the least charitable way possible.
Who says it didn’t, perhaps all they needed was objective proof that they’re worthy, and the genie has now provided it.
The greatest wizards don’t even need magic.
Not what they wished for.
