Love and emotion baby, love and emotion, you are the sunshine of my life.

The death of a person, is hard to handle, that of your dog is even more. Life has gone into a vacuum ever since my dog has died. It's never easy to handle death, let alone that of a near and dear one. But as they say life goes on, and  it does. How much life is there in your life depends on you. Life can be lifeless or lifeful (new word).  People come people go. Too much attachment to anything is not desirable. From that logic too much attachment to yourself is also not desirable. People say love yourself more than anyone else. But that borders on selfishness and narcissism. Agreed man is a selfish being, its always I before you. But sometimes this you becomes more important than I. When does this happen? Even I don't have an answer for it,or maybe I do, but don't want to acknowledge it. Acknowledging love for anyone is difficult, maybe more difficult than anything in the world. So start with family (hope it isn't too difficult with them). Love by parents is greater than love for yourself (I believe). Even when you are not there for yourself, your family is. Do perfect families exist? they do, taking a cue from mine (touch wood). So go ahead, love them to pieces and drown them in the chocolate syrup of love.
