If attachment could be considered an emotion, then I'd like one of these:

Egotistical self-destruction appears contradictory, but is very common. Maybe it's some kind of spiritual safety mechanism, like for example, sleep every night.

Sorry @Loreena, I'm having trouble connecting the dots with your cryptic posts... I'm not the brightest spark.

They look like this:

Something that there is never enough of.

No, opinions are not allowed there.

@Leo Gura How did you eventually find your way out of the woods?

Awww... you make such a luvly couple... Which one are you, @Shin ?

Oki. Name the time and place, and I'll get my consciousness to meet yours there.

It's the Soviet gene pool, @Leo Gura . It was mostly designed for a society of engineers, and not philosophers. Unless there is Vodka involved.

Yes, but you need to shout very loud.

@Prabhaker would this counter have enough digits to count your uncountable friends?

I wholeheartedly agree. Having to share the bathroom is a romance killer. And let's face it: what is marriage anyway, but institutionalized slavery (for the man)? I know what some of you are thinking - starting a family over long distance may be problematic. Simple solution: porn on the Internet. Don't ask for details.

Sooo... @pluto & @Shin are a couple? I thought you were both guys... you planning to adopt then?

Oki @Beau , we have a pact. No matter what, we won't end up alone. On your visit please bring some gummy bears with you, for my old teeth.

You appear young,@Beau . Just give yourself some time to develop, and you'll be fine. You'll see. And we can always get married at my retirement home if things don't work out.

@Loreena ... there is real Love, in and out of this world. But living in the shadow of Love, you may not feel it right now. Love is like sunshine - it's always here, but sometimes it's covered. Love coming to you, and you can't avoid it.

PlutoBeau children, of course.

There is a somewhat subtle message in this video, kinda difficult to grasp...

This is how I perceive our good friend @John Flores: 60% sage, 39% nutty. Which side will be victorious? C'mon John, shine like the brightest star! We need the best of your very best.

@electroBeam I've also taken care of injured turtles, snakes, birds and plenty of other critters, but no pics to prove it. Here's a pic of the current patient, a pigeon which had given up the will to live in the middle of a busy street, with a badly broken leg being the result of a (common here) monkey's slingshot: Some basic care, two x-rays, three bandages later, and he'll be ready to fly again in a few weeks or so. This guy sure has a lot of arguments over food with the identical guy on the other side of his mirror. That's pigeon ego issues for you...

Interesting article from The Verge.

It's a people-problem here in Asia - the dogs are fine. Dogs don't destroy the environment like people do. There are no problematic diseases caused by dogs, unlike the myriad of diseases bred by thoughtless people and their irresponsible actions. Asian people love and breed cute puppies. And when these grow out of their cuteness, they then dump the puppies on the street or the nearest temple, or just plain poison them. "Callous" would be too mild a word to describe these low-consciousness heartless monkeys, and the immense suffering they cause. Just yesterday I pulled up at the traffic lights on my bike. Next to me was a pickup truck with a pig at the back tied tightly with rope. The poor animal was in very obvious distress lying on the burning hot pickup tray, under the hot midday sun. The couple in the air-con pickup cabin smiled at me and shrugged their shoulders, as if their abhorrent behavior was normal. The thought of putting this suffering soul out of its misery in a humanly way didn't even occur to them. Animals are fine - it's people that are the problem. @Annetta please don't get me started on this topic. So in some ways @Loreena is right. As my friend says, what the world needs now is love.
