Very nice expressions of love on the forum. Nice.

I’m going to share something here that I shared with @goosehd in pm yesterday. Many of you may be familiar with The Hold Steady and their singer/lyricist Craig Finn. He has a few maxims I’ve always liked but I’ve increasingly come to believe are rules for life.

Hold steady, stay positive, be honest. We all want the same things.

[Tago Mago]

Amen to that, @neph93

Clearly some folk do not want the same things, but that's too political a debate for here and now

100% @Seul  We are far past "we want the same things, we just see different ways to get them."

The sad reality is that substantial number of humans want to deprive others of the "same things" that they would like to reserve for themselves.

[Seul]

And that is definitely a political post and I'm sorry but after all these years y'all know how I work 

[goosehd]

…and that’s why we love you! 

[Seul]

And you still smell way good.

[neph93]

I predictably dumped the political post. Which I guess means I’m back 

I don’t think Finn’s comment about wanting the same things refers to politics, more to a simple taxonomy of human needs. Food, shelter, etc…. But most of all love.

[mclaincausey]

What's more fundamental than reproduction? Or peaceful coexistence?

As for love, what about people who don't want grown adults to be able to be with the person whom they love if they are the same sex, and enjoy benefits the rest of us enjoy such as visitation rights? Nobody gets a plaudit from me just because they love someone, or are loved by someone–empathy and demonstrating that the same is respected in others whom they might see little in common with is what will carry that beyond their sphere and make it meaningful to me.

Perhaps I woke on the wrong side of the bed but this all sounds like a sanguine take relative to what I'm witnessing and expecting to witness.

You're not wrong @mclaincausey

I almost reported my own post… I'll try and be a good cunt again... Wait...
