Do you believe you deserve goodness or love?

No, I do not think anybody really deserves anything, good or bad, as a starting point. Rather, people act, and respond to behavior. Now, I do feel certain reactions are owed to others, to reward or punish. Yet many people will still do whatever they want: return love with hate, and hate with love.

As for love, one must work for it. One way is to give love. Of course, there is no guarantee it will be returned. When this happens, one must see the love given as charity.

In my case, I am pretty neutral. I do not love freely, or go out of my way to help others, but show reasonable courtesy, and respect and gratitude when it is earned. Oh, I fall for women, but less the more I age.
