Isn't it amazing how animals can love unconditionally whereas humans cannot? Are we too evolved to truly let go and love someone completely? Or too self involved?
What is it about our furry friends which allows them to give of themselves so completely? I know there have been many days where I just couldn't have faced the world without a "kitty break" from one of our family of felines. Just those few stolen moments of a living, breathing being, curled up in fits of happiness on your lap, purring contentedly at the fact that you sat still long enough for them to get comfortable.
Why can't we do that as a species? What is it that keeps us from finding that deep sense of connectedness with each other? Are we afraid to love too deeply - perhaps victims of pain from events that happened in our past? How much courage would you need to "take the plunge" and love someone warts and all?
