Stinky Pantz, who was truly missed, brought out an interesting point in asking the question about who loves us. After thinking about her question for a while I felt I could not answer it at all. I know who I love and how I feel about certain ones in my life, but I can not say with any true belief how others really feel about me. Based on these ones actions I can say who treat me with respect and who does not. This "respect" I can determine to my own satisfaction at least, and I am OK with life in this context.
Now my questions; In the absents of solid proof, if such a thing is even possible, which has a higher value to you, love or respect? Do you feel you are settling if you say respect? Can you live without the personal belief that you are truly loved? Was the need to be loved a reason you got involved with the Dubs? Mav
