They don't have to love me back. I know a bunch of folks who I would always love even if they drank the blood of my cats. Honestly...

4. Not until you are a mom or dad
and you hold that little one, and they snuggle up to you and coo while nodding off

then when they are teenagers, you can kill them

16. I think if there is some sort of past life thing..
That we were hanging out since the beginning of time. If not, then here we are. Either way,. we have some really off-the wall conversations that couldn't be understood by anyone else! Hope Homeland Security ain't recording it all!!

7. My love is unconditional.
My respect, however, is entirely conditional.

14. That is a great question!
I used to think so, but over the years, after getting jaded, so to speak, it becomes harder to do that. Even after all the living I have done, I still try to give the benefit of the doubt, but there are circumstances that, along the way, seem to thwart me from giving unconditional love to all.

I have never had children, so I am not qualified here. I have had a lot of pets (or they had me), but even then, there have been circumstances where originally, I would have done anything to preserve a pet's life, and now, maybe wouldn't do the same thing.

I have what I feel is unconditional love towards my parents and family, but if they were total buttholes, I think that I wouldn't really bother.

So, I guess the answer to that question is NO.

18. i even love my enemies
i realize that life is all important and meaningless at the same time.

the only i way i find true immannence is within the confidence of others.

17. No, and nobody is capable of that.
If they claim they are, it's a lie.
