by no suprize im shure , i like the idea of looking tward the animal kingdom for the most accurate answer , and if u look, it is as diverse as the animal kingdom itself . from the mother bear caring for her cubs , to the harrom won by the dominant sea lion , to birds that screw only each other there whole lives , to the sun and rain giving berth and neurturing life in the soil , ...... but its much more complex than that , i LOVE my cat and it LOVES me , not sexually !?! ..... º ~ º , but if it died today i wouldn't shed a tear ,.... should i love my brother more than my neighbor or friend ? or my mother more than her sister or my bosses daughter ? should i love my many brothers and sisters mothers and fathers more than myself ? is love truth / honesty / equality / compassion / ? is love humilaty ? ......... is love the lack of judgment , and therefore setting yourself neither above nor below anyone else ? ......... its easy to love my cat because its hard to judge , it is pure even in its deficiency , like a child , to veiw all even yourselves as children , flawed , ignorant , to view the origin as pure and the result as corse ..... is this friged , cold , isolation , or an overflowing embrace of all that is , or is it neather because it is bolth , ........ this does feel like isolation , but to choose favorites seems wrong , .... to love god above all is to love all with abundance , but to have your only love come from a scarcely comunicable dimension is ..... bleek , im i then to view all as gods incarnation including myself ? or is there actualy some warm fuzzy BS in peoples hearts that i just dont have the lugdsury of experiencing ? or are people just lie ing to themselves so they have a reason to fake a smile ? ...... in the end i turn to the dark side of nature , which is science , einstin , all things are relitive to the perspective of the individual , love is choice , our free will .... am i my brothers keeper ? should the wellbeing of another be placed bfor my own ? is it my responsibility to neurter life mimicing the earth / god ;
