This Love many feel...
Is it Love or Selfishness?
There are Needs and Wants
Does the mosquito love me?
I'm sure the bird loves the worm.

...lol...when we get to where we don't need it, well...that's quite a thought to ponder now, isn't it! Love & Light to you, bro (no need attached)

But love is neither need nor want, neither hunger nor selfishness....it's all of those and it is fulfillment and completion, selflessness and satiation...and so many other things!

LOL ... true, but think of this ... the desire for love has become as strong as the need to feed (so to speak)lol, perhaps more so. Especially since all we have to do these days is make a trip to the local grocer and not go foraging in search of dinner, like the bird and the mosquito. ::smiles::
