Is love and greed the same thing?

U have nv witnessed a mothers love? On either end?

@Thegreateast: I am a mother. And that love is the ONLY real love. It is truly unconditional.

Its an amazing experience... I like to use it as the purest and truest form of love there is.

To puty question into those terms....

Are mothers in love with their child, because its their own youth? An extention of their own childhood.... they want to protect it and make it the best they can... Because they want it.

Its not bad... It's quite healthy...

But is that what it is?

@Thegreateast: I love my kids. They are amazing. I would die for them. I would go through hell for them. And in some ways.... I already am. I don't want them to ever hurt, but I know life too well for that. They know I am here for them. I don't lie to my kids... they have never even believed in Santa or the tooth fairy. And we have an amazing relationship. Nothing they could ever do would stop me from loving them. That is true love. That is the only love that is real.

But why? Its amazing, but why?

It's something we take as fact... we assume this basic human urge, and we nv question it...

Why is it there?

@Thegreateast: Why is what there? The only people who truly love... are parents.

And I am...

But as I child I knew it too... and a spouse I have felt it. And as a foody I have consumed in it.

These things all seem separate, but isn't there something that ties them together?
