I'm sorry you have not yet or are not able to experience the unconditional love of a loyal and caring non human companion. Someone who is always excited to see you. Say, some day your wife or husband dies and leaves you in an empty house your children have long moved out of. You wake up every day thinking of everything you've lost and begin to recluse, especially after your retirement. The house is empty, the people are dead. You could understand that that would be a difficult and painful position to be in, right? Imagine that every time you wake up there is a little dog who is excited to see you. Every time you come home they are extremely happy and joyous at your return. Every time you sit with you dinner, they sit with you. Every time you cry they are there. Every difficult emotion is made sweeter and easier by the friend that loves you unconditionally and purely. You think that person is a low life? You think that person is a caveman who should just die alone? You can't see a single reason that pure and unconditional love might be a good thing for some people? I hope you find some someday so you can understand they unadulterated joy and deep meaning of being alive on this planet, connected to other living things

> I'm sorry you have not yet or are not able to experience the unconditional love of a loyal and caring I'm an adult. I'm supposed to give that sort of love, not receive it. That's one of the reasons I have children. Receiving it is for children. > You think that person is a low life? You think that person is a caveman who should just die alone? I think they're someone who can't afford $150/month in pet food. > I hope you find some someday so you can understand they unadulterated joy Why would you hope that I'm unsalvageably childish?

  If you truly believe you don't deserve love because you're an adult, that's just really sad. Receiving love is for everyone.

    When have either of us lived in a universe where "deserve" has anything to do with reality? Is that the source of everyone's dysfunction, wandering around whining about "deserving love"? How could I ever give love if I were so desperate to receive it? My life's far from sad. But all the sad people out there seem to agree with you with their whining about deserving love. Have you ever explored that connection?
