Love??

O.K. gang. It's morning and time for work. Wakie Wakie. Do you really think your parents loved you? Shit, I think I hit the wrong button here..... How could they? Did they even know what love was? Did they love themselves? You have beliefs that you adopted from them and want to keep them because you trusted your parents. I cannot think of a less compelling reason than trusting your parents as a basis for taking on their beliefs. Am I attacking parents?... of course. They don't have a clue about love, no idea whatsoever. Did a parent ever define what it even is? If you really get down and dirty, how can a dream character truly love a dream character? A little comfort and a hug feel good, but 'love'? They had/have no idea. They were driven by their own demons and taught what love is by their parents who had even less of an idea. Need, desires, sex, companionship, security, yes, they are much more likely the motivators but not love. Just look at how many lies they told you. Would you lie to a person that you truly loved? What kind of love would that be? They were doing the very best they could with what they had, that's all that was going on. Do I love you? What would I do, pretend there is a separate you and then devote myself to that illusion? Not worth the effort and a complete delusion. There is no me/you division to begin with.
