Do you like me?

I was watching this reality show episode on TV the other day. It was a singing contest for kids. There was this shy kid who sang very well. The judges were impressed but in order to get the child to open up asked him ask them anything he wanted. The boy thought for a while and asked 'Do you like me?". The judges had just praised his singing, but this was the question on the child's mind. I wondered isn't this in our minds as well. From superstars to the wannabe, from a parent to a child....everyone has this question deep within "Do you like me?" It was his innocence that made him ask this so spontaneously. But isn't this that's within us all?
